ਭਗਤਿ ਹੇਤਿ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦਿ ਤਰੰਗਾ ॥
bhagat hayt gur sabad tarangaa.
Through the Word of the Guru’s Shabad, inspiration for loving devotional worship wells up.
ਹਰਿ ਜਸੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਪਦਾਰਥੁ ਮੰਗਾ ॥
har jas naam padaarath mangaa.
I beg for the treasure of the Naam, and the Lord's Praise.
ਹਰਿ ਭਾਵੈ ਗੁਰ ਮੇਲਿ ਮਿਲਾਏ ਹਰਿ ਤਾਰੇ ਜਗਤੁ ਸਬਾਇਆ ॥੭॥
har bhaavai gur mayl milaa-ay har taaray jagat sabaa-i-aa. ||7||
When it pleases the Lord, He unites me in Union with the Guru; the Lord saves the whole world.||7||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Through the Guru's Word, love for the One wells up like a spring.
I beg for the treasure of the Name and the One's praise.
When it pleases the One, it joins me to the Guru; the One saves the whole world.
Love for the One rises like a spring when you tend it.
Devotion (bhagat) rises like water from a spring. The asking is for the treasure of the Name. Grace comes in its own time (when it pleases the One), and the saving reaches not just one person but the whole world.
A Question to Sit With
