ਜਾਸਨ ਬਾਸਨ ਸਹਜ ਕੇਲ ਕਰੁਣਾ ਮੈ ਏਕ ਅਨੰਤ ਅਨੂਪੈ ਠਾਉ ॥੧॥
jaasan baasan sahj kayl karunaa mai ayk anant anoopai thaa-o. ||1||
O Praiseworthy Lord, Enjoyer of celestial peace, Embodiment of mercy, One Infinite Lord, Your place is so beautiful. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Worthy of all praise, You enjoy heaven's peace. You are mercy itself, the One without end. How beautiful is Your place!
Sometimes devotion is simply admiration — naming the beloved's qualities and delighting, with nothing asked for.
Sometimes loving someone simply means admiring them. This line only praises. It asks for nothing.
It calls the One karunaa mai, full of mercy, and ayk anant, the One without end. Then it says, anoopai thaa-o — Your place is so beautiful.
Think of a child looking up at the night sky and saying "wow," with no wish list at all. That is what this line does. It names what is good and enjoys it. Praise that wants nothing back is love at its purest.
A Question to Sit With
When have you praised something purely because it was beautiful, wanting nothing in return?
