ਭਾਉ ਲਾਗਾ ਗੋਬਿਦ ਸਿਉ ਘਾਲ ਪਾਈ ਥਾਇ ॥
bhaa-o laagaa gobid si-o ghaal paa-ee thaa-ay.
He falls in love with the Lord of the Universe, and his efforts are approved.
ਖੇਤਿ ਮੇਰੈ ਜੰਮਿਆ ਨਿਖੁਟਿ ਨ ਕਬਹੂ ਜਾਇ ॥੩॥
khayt mayrai jammi-aa nikhut na kabhoo jaa-ay. ||3||
My crop has germinated, and it shall never be used up. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When love for the One takes root, the hard work of your heart is welcomed and it counts.
The crop growing in my field will never be used up — it feeds me and keeps on giving.
When love takes root, your effort counts.
When love takes root, effort is "approved" (paa-ee thaa-ay): it counts. The crop that never runs out is the Naam, food that is never used up.
A Question to Sit With
What good thing have you worked at that is starting to grow?
