Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I love being close to the good — it's where my heart wants to be.
"O calm and peaceful One, lift me to the highest, best place inside."
Loving to be close to the good is where the heart most wants to be.
The rahao: "I am in love with Your Lotus Feet... O ocean of peace, bless me with the supreme status." A simple declaration of love — the heart delighting in nearness to the good — and a wish to be lifted to its best, highest state. For a child: loving to be close to the good is where the heart most wants to be.
