ਮਃ ੫ ॥
mehlaa 5.
Fifth Mehl:
ਹਿਕਸ ਕੂੰ ਤੂ ਆਹਿ ਪਛਾਣੂ ਭੀ ਹਿਕੁ ਕਰਿ ॥
hikas kooN too aahi pachhaanoo bhee hik kar.
Yearn for the One Lord, and make Him your friend.
ਨਾਨਕ ਆਸੜੀ ਨਿਬਾਹਿ ਮਾਨੁਖ ਪਰਥਾਈ ਲਜੀਵਦੋ ॥੩॥
naanak aasrhee nibaahi maanukh parthaa-ee lajeevdo. ||3||
O Nanak, He alone fulfills your hopes; you should feel embarrassed, visiting other places. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Long for the One, and make that One your closest friend.
Nanak says: the One fills your hopes; you never have to go begging elsewhere.
With the right Friend, you never have to go begging elsewhere.
A Dakhanay shalok. Knocking on other doors for what the One already gives would only bring a blush of shame. The One is enough, so you can stand tall.
A Question to Sit With
What does it feel like to have a friend who is enough?
