Sublime and exalted is devotion to the Perfect Word of the Shabad.
ਅੰਤਰਿ ਸੁਖੁ ਤੇਰੈ ਮਨਿ ਭਾਈ ॥
antar sukh tayrai man bhaa-ee.
Peace prevails within; they are pleasing to Your Mind.
ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਸਚੀ ਭਗਤੀ ਰਾਤਾ ਸਚੇ ਸਿਉ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਇਆ ॥੨॥
man tan sachee bhagtee raataa sachay si-o chit laa-i-aa. ||2||
One whose mind and body are imbued with true devotion, focuses his consciousness on the True Lord. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
How high and beautiful it is to love the perfect word. A peace rises up inside, and it gladdens You.
The one whose mind and body are soaked in true devotion keeps their heart fixed on the True One.
True devotion brings a quiet that settles the whole self.
Devotion to the perfect Shabad is uttam (sublime); it brings inner peace (sahaj) that pleases the One. Mind and body imbued (bheejai) with true bhagti stay fixed on the True. Devotion here is a quieting, not a striving.
A Question to Sit With
