ਜੀਭ ਰਸਾਇਣਿ ਸਾਚੈ ਰਾਤੀ ॥
jeebh rasaa-in saachai raatee.
Their tongues are imbued with the True Lord, the source of nectar;
ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਸੰਗੀ ਭਉ ਨ ਭਰਾਤੀ ॥
har parabh sangee bha-o na bharaatee.
abiding with the Lord God, they have no fear or doubt.
ਸ੍ਰਵਣ ਸ੍ਰੋਤ ਰਜੇ ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਜੋਤੀ ਜੋਤਿ ਮਿਲਾਈ ਹੇ ॥੧੪॥
sarvan sarot rajay gurbaanee jotee jot milaa-ee hay. ||14||
Hearing the Word of the Guru's Bani, their ears are satisfied, and their light merges into the Light. ||14||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My words grow sweet when they are full of You, the source of all sweetness.
With You beside me, fear and doubt have nowhere to sit.
My ears drink in the Guru's Bani until they are content, and the little light in me joins the great Light.
When my words and ears are full of the One, fear finds no place to sit.
Tongue, companionship, and ears are each shown filled with the One, ending in the merging of the individual light into the divine Light (jotee jot). The senses become doorways rather than distractions.
A Question to Sit With
What is a sound you could listen to that fills you with calm?
