Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
But only those truly dance who please You, and who — facing the teaching — take up love for the Word.
They are the real devotees, filled with wisdom's essence, who live by the One's Command.
Everything moves, but the devotee chooses to move with love.
After the huge picture of everything dancing, the verse points again to the real dance. Jo tuDh bhaaveh say-ee naacheh — only those truly dance who please You. They love the sabad, the Word. And they live by the hukam, the One's Command, the way things are meant to go.
All creation moves. But the dance that counts is the loving, willing kind. The stars dance because it is their nature. The devotee dances out of love, by saying yes. Think of a whole orchestra. Every instrument makes sound, but the music comes when each player gladly follows the conductor. The difference is not motion. It is choosing to move in tune.
What would it mean to move through life not just carried along, but in willing, loving alignment?
