Sikhism·Raag Maaroo·Shabad 46
Verse 3 of 5

He Listens to Those Who Love

ਭਗਤਾ ਕਾ ਆਗਿਆਕਾਰੀ ਸਦਾ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖਦਾਈ ॥੨॥
bhagtaa kaa aagi-aakaaree sadaa sadaa sukh-daa-ee. ||2||
He submits to the Will of His devotees; He is forever and ever the Giver of peace. ||2||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The One leans in close to those who love, and listens.

Always and forever, the One is the giver of peace.

The One leans close to those who love.
The deeper layer

The One leans close to those who love.

Bhagtaa kaa aagi-aakaaree — the One "obeys" the devotees. Devotees are people who love the One. It sounds surprising. How can the Creator obey anyone? It means love goes both ways. The One listens closely to loving hearts.

Think of a grandmother who drops everything when her grandchild calls. Nobody forces her. Love makes her lean in. And the One is sadaa sadaa sukh-daa-ee — forever and ever the Giver of peace.

A Question to Sit With

When do you feel listened to?
