Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One, playful and enchanting, is my very breath and my honor.
It lives in my heart, and watching its playful games, my mind is carried away.
The Pause line delights in the One as playful — "the fascinating, playful Lord." This is a distinctive note: the divine not only as majesty or law but as play, endlessly creative, delightful to watch. The devotee, beholding "His playful games" (the whole shifting dance of creation), is "fascinated" — captivated the way you can't look away from something beautiful. And this playful One is intimate — "my very breath of life" — abiding in the heart. Wonder and closeness at once.
When has the sheer playfulness or beauty of the world caught you and made you unable to look away?
