mehlaa 4.
Fourth Mehl:
ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਤਾਮਿ ਸਗਾਰਵਾ ਜਾਂ ਦੇਖਾ ਹਰਿ ਨੈਣੇ ॥
man tan taam sagaaravaa jaaN daykhaa har nainay.
My mind and body are embellished and exalted, when I behold the Lord with my eyes.
ਨਾਨਕ ਸੋ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਮੈ ਮਿਲੈ ਹਉ ਜੀਵਾ ਸਦੁ ਸੁਣੇ ॥੨॥
naanak so parabh mai milai ha-o jeevaa sad sunay. ||2||
O Nanak, meeting with that God, I live, hearing His Voice. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My mind and body shine with beauty when I see the One with my own eyes.
Nanak says: when I meet that One, I live — hearing the One's voice.
To behold the One is to come fully alive.
Seeing the One and hearing the One's voice bring you fully alive.
Sagaaravaa means made beautiful, dressed up and shining. Daykhaa har nainay: I see the One with my eyes. Ha-o jeevaa sad sunay: I come alive, hearing the call. Think of a child who hears a parent's voice at the door after a long day and runs to meet them.
A Question to Sit With
What makes you feel most alive just to see it?
