Please, let me sit near You, and unite me with Yourself.
ਸਭਨਾ ਜੀਆ ਕਾ ਸੁਖਦਾਤਾ ਪੂਰੈ ਕਰਮਿ ਧਿਆਇਆ ॥੧੦॥
sabhnaa jee-aa kaa sukh-daata poorai karam Dhi-aa-i-aa. ||10||
You are the Giver of peace to all beings; by perfect karma, we meditate on You. ||10||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Your helper serves, and offers this small prayer: let me sit close beside You, and make me one with You.
You give peace to every living thing, and when the way opens, we hold You in mind.
The simplest prayer is often the truest: let me sit near You.
A tender prayer: mayl bahaaleh paas — let me sit near You. The One is the peace-giver to all beings; meditation comes by grace and readied ground (karam). Nearness, not achievement, is the request.
A Question to Sit With
Who or what do you most want to sit close beside?
