ਕੋਟਿ ਮਧੇ ਕਿਸਹਿ ਬੁਝਾਏ ॥
kot maDhay kiseh bujhaa-ay.
Out of millions, only a few understand.
ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਰਤੇ ਰੰਗੁ ਲਾਏ ॥
gur kai sabad ratay rang laa-ay.
Imbued with the Word of the Guru's Shabad, they are colored in His Love.
ਹਰਿ ਸਾਲਾਹਹਿ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖਦਾਤਾ ਹਰਿ ਬਖਸੇ ਭਗਤਿ ਸਲਾਹਾ ਹੇ ॥੫॥
har saalaahahi sadaa sukh-daata har bakhsay bhagat salaahaa hay. ||5||
They praise the Lord, the Giver of peace forever; the Lord forgives His devotees, and blesses them with His Praise. ||5||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Out of so many, only a few come to understand.
Soaked in the Word, they take on the color of love.
They praise the Giver of peace, who forgives with an open heart and fills them with song.
Being soaked in the Word colors you with love.
Kot madhay kiseh bujhaa-ay — out of millions, a few understand. Those ratay rang laa-ay are dyed in love. The One is har bakhsay bhagat — it forgives its devotees freely and then blesses them with its own praise to sing.
A Question to Sit With
What is something you have spent so much time with that it has colored who you are?
