Sikhism·Raag Gauree·Shabad 64
Verse 2 of 5

To Turn Toward the Teaching Is to Love the One

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹਰਿ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਵੈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
gurmukh har liv laavai. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The Gurmukh is lovingly centered on the Lord. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The one turned toward the teaching is lovingly centered on the One.

To be turned toward the teaching is simply to have your love centered on the One.
The deeper layer

A one-line Rahao defining the Gurmukh: not a perfect person but a centered one, love fixed on the One. Orientation is the whole of it.

A Question to Sit With

What is your love most "centered" on right now?
