Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My family of the heart — anyone who can plant the One's name in me, come, let's meet.
To that one I'd give my mind, my body, my very breath, for speaking to me of the One.
The Pause line is a wide-open invitation: whoever can "implant the Lord's Name" — from anywhere, of any station — is welcome, and Ram Das would give them everything for the gift of good words about the One. Notice how much he values simply being spoken to of the One — conversation as sacrament. The seeker isn't picky about the messenger; he is hungry only for the message. This is the raag's fellowship-hunger at full stretch.
Have you ever missed a good message because you were fussy about who was delivering it?
