The Teaching Gathers a Scattered Heart Into Focus

ਰਾਮ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਹਰਿ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
raam gurmat har liv laagay. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Through the Guru's Teachings, I am lovingly centered on the Lord. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Through the teaching, my love is centered on the One.

The teaching gathers a scattered heart into loving focus on the One.
The deeper layer

A one-line Rahao: the Guru's teachings gather the scattered heart into loving focus on the One (cf. the restless mind quieted). Love centered is the whole practice.

A Question to Sit With

What helps you "center" when you feel scattered?
