The Unending Song Playing in Every Heart

ਆਪੇ ਦਿਨਸੁ ਆਪੇ ਹੀ ਰੈਣੀ ॥
aapay dinas aapay hee rainee.
You Yourself are the day, and You Yourself are the night.
ਆਪਿ ਪਤੀਜੈ ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਬੈਣੀ ॥
aap pateejai gur kee bainee.
You Yourself are pleased by the Word of the Guru's Bani.
ਆਦਿ ਜੁਗਾਦਿ ਅਨਾਹਦਿ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਸਬਦੁ ਰਜਾਈ ਹੇ ॥੭॥
aad jugaad anaahad an-din ghat ghat sabad rajaa-ee hay. ||7||
From the very beginning, and throughout the ages, the unstruck sound current resounds, night and day; in each and every heart, the Word of the Shabad, echoes Your Will. ||7||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

You are the daytime, and You are the night.

A true word of wisdom delights You.

From the very beginning and through every age, a quiet music has been playing, and it hums inside every single heart, mine too, singing the way life flows.

A quiet music has always been playing inside every heart, including mine.
The deeper layer

The anahad Shabad, the unstruck sound, resounds in every heart, night and day, and it carries rajaa-ee, the Will, the way life flows. It is a quiet music always there within, echoing the ordering of all things.

A Question to Sit With

When have you felt a kind of quiet music or calm humming inside you?
