ਜਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਭਾਵੈ ਤਾ ਗੁਰੂ ਮਿਲਾਏ ॥
jaa tis bhaavai taa guroo milaa-ay.
When it pleases His Will, He leads us to meet the Guru.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਪਦਾਰਥੁ ਪਾਏ ॥
gurmukh naam padaarath paa-ay.
The Gurmukh finds the treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord.
ਤੁਧੁ ਆਪਣੈ ਭਾਣੈ ਸਭ ਸ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਉਪਾਈ ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਭਾਣਾ ਦੇਹਿ ਤਿਸੁ ਭਾਇਦਾ ॥੪॥
tuDh aapnai bhaanai sabh sarisat upaa-ee jis no bhaanaa deh tis bhaa-idaa. ||4||
By Your Will, You created the whole Universe; those whom You bless with Your favor are pleased with Your Will. ||4||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When the moment is right, You lead me to the Guru. Turned toward the Guru, I find the treasure of the Naam.
By Your way the whole universe came to be, and those You bless come to love Your way, too.
The same flow that made the stars is the one you are learning to trust.
Grace leads to the Guru; the whole srisat (creation) arose from the Will; and those blessed come to love it. The circle closes: the flow that made everything is the same flow we learn to trust.
A Question to Sit With
Who or what led you toward the things you now love most?
