You Came To Live In My Heart

ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਰਿਦੈ ਬਸੇਰੋ ॥
kar kirpaa parabh ridai basayro.
Granting His Grace, God has come to dwell within my heart.
ਚਰਨ ਸੰਤਨ ਕੈ ਮਾਥਾ ਮੇਰੋ ॥੧॥
charan santan kai maathaa mayro. ||1||
I touch my forehead to the feet of the Saints. ||1||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

In kindness, the One has come to live in my heart.

I bow my forehead to the feet of the saints.

When you feel the One living in your heart, humility comes naturally.
The deeper layer

When the One comes to live in your heart, bowing to holy people comes easily.

Kar kirpaa prabh ridai basayro: in kindness, the One made a home in my heart. Charan santan kai maathaa mayro: my forehead at the feet of the saints. Bowing here is thankfulness, the way you hug someone who gave you something precious.

A Question to Sit With

What makes you feel thankful enough to bow your head?
