Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
All through the day, sing the good qualities of the One.
This is what a human life is really for.
Set down proud, puffed-up feelings, and know the One is right beside you.
In good company, let your heart soak up the color of that love.
Jee-a paraan ko ihai su-aa-o — remembrance is named as the very purpose of being alive. Taj abhimaan asks us to set down abhimaan, the inflated self-importance that makes us feel separate; the moment it drops, jaan prabh sang — we know the One was beside us all along. Man rang, the mind taking on color, is the dye image beloved in Gurbani: love steeps the heart the way dye steeps cloth.
What is one thing you feel you are really here to do or become?
