Verse 3 of 3
Ears, Eyes, Tongue All Turned to You
ਕਰਨਿ ਹਰਿ ਜਸੁ ਨੇਤ੍ਰ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਰਸਨਿ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਨ ਗਾਉ ॥
karan har jas naytar darsan rasan har gun gaa-o.
With my ears I hear God's Praises, and with my eyes I behold the Blessed Vision of His Darshan; with my tongue I sing the Lord's Glorious Praises.
ਬਲਿਹਾਰਿ ਜਾਏ ਸਦਾ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਦੇਹੁ ਅਪਣਾ ਨਾਉ ॥੨॥੩॥੮॥੬॥੧੪॥
balihaar jaa-ay sadaa naanak dayh apnaa naa-o. ||2||3||8||6||14||
Nanak is forever a sacrifice to You; please, bless me with Your Name. ||2||3||8||6||14||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
With my ears I hear Your praises, with my eyes I see You, with my tongue I sing of You.
Nanak would give anything for You, always — please, give me Your Name.
Every sense you have can become a way of loving what's real.
The whole body turned toward the One: ears (sun), eyes (paykh), tongue (gaavai) — hearing, seeing, singing. The closing plea — deho naam — asks for the one gift the whole raag has been asking for. Every sense becomes a way of loving.
A Question to Sit With
How could your eyes, ears, and voice each notice something good today?
