ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਰਮਈਆ ਰਮਤ ਰਾਮ ਰਾਇ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦਿ ਗੁਰੂ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗੇ ॥
ghat ghat rama-ee-aa ramat raam raa-ay gur sabad guroo liv laagay.
The All-pervading Sovereign Lord King is contained in each and every heart. Through the Guru, and the Word of the Guru's Shabad, I am lovingly centered on the Lord.
ਹਉ ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਦੇਵਉ ਕਾਟਿ ਗੁਰੂ ਕਉ ਮੇਰਾ ਭ੍ਰਮੁ ਭਉ ਗੁਰ ਬਚਨੀ ਭਾਗੇ ॥੨॥
ha-o man tan dayva-o kaat guroo ka-o mayraa bharam bha-o gur bachnee bhaagay. ||2||
Cutting my mind and body into pieces, I offer them to my Guru. The Guru's Teachings have dispelled my doubt and fear. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The all-pervading sovereign lives in every heart; through the teacher and the Word, my love is centered there. I would cut my mind and body into pieces and offer them to my teacher. The teaching has cleared away my doubt and fear.
The One is in every heart -- and the teaching clears away doubt and fear.
The One in every heart, reached through the Shabad. The extravagant image of offering oneself in pieces expresses total devotion (cf. selling the head). The fruit: doubt and fear dispelled.
