Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:
ਪਵਹੁ ਚਰਣਾ ਤਲਿ ਊਪਰਿ ਆਵਹੁ ਐਸੀ ਸੇਵ ਕਮਾਵਹੁ ॥
pavahu charnaa tal oopar aavhu aisee sayv kamaavahu.
Place yourself beneath all men's feet, and you will be uplifted; serve Him in this way.
ਆਪਸ ਤੇ ਊਪਰਿ ਸਭ ਜਾਣਹੁ ਤਉ ਦਰਗਹ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਵਹੁ ॥੧॥
aapas tay oopar sabh jaanhu ta-o dargeh sukh paavhu. ||1||
Know that all are above you, and you shall find peace in the Court of the Lord. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Place yourself beneath everyone's feet, like the ground, and you will be lifted up. Serve the One like this.
Know that everyone is above you, and you will find peace in the Court of the One.
The lowest seat is the one that lifts you.
Pavahu charnaa tal — placing yourself beneath all feet — carries the great paradox: the lowest seat is the one that lifts you. Dargeh, the Court of the One, is the peace that settles over a humble heart.
A Question to Sit With
When has putting someone else first made you feel better, not worse?
