I dedicate my body, mind and everything, and place it in offering before the Lord. His Name is the most beautiful in this world. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
There is only One. And the One is found by the True Guru's grace — a gift that is always here, waiting for an open heart.
I keep the One close in my heart, day after day.
Every moment I bow, grateful, to the Perfect Guru.
I lay my body and mind and everything I have as a gift in front of the One, whose Name is the most beautiful thing in the whole world.
Some things are worth bowing to simply because they are beautiful and true.
The opening of the final Solhe of the set. Devotion, gratitude, and self-offering set the tone; 'naam suhaavanaa' (the Name is the most beautiful) becomes the keynote the whole hymn returns to.
A Question to Sit With
What is something so good that just remembering it lifts you?
