ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਮੇਰਾ ॥
satgur parmaysar mayraa.
The True Guru is my Transcendent Lord.
ਅਨਿਕ ਰਾਜ ਭੋਗ ਰਸ ਮਾਣੀ ਨਾਉ ਜਪੀ ਭਰਵਾਸਾ ਤੇਰਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
anik raaj bhog ras maanee naa-o japee bharvaasaa tayraa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
I enjoy countless pleasures of power and tasty delights, chanting Your Name, and placing my faith in You. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The True Guru is my Lord beyond all.
I enjoy countless delights, like a king's, as I repeat Your Naam and lean my whole weight on You.
Lean your whole weight on the One, and you feel richer than a king.
Trust the Guru, and the Naam becomes your wealth.
This is the rahaa-o, the pause line. Satgur parmaysar — the True Guru is the Lord beyond all. Bharvaasaa is trust and reliance — leaning your whole weight on the One — not "faith" as mere belief. The Name is the true wealth beside which royal pleasures are small.
A Question to Sit With
Who or what do you lean on when things get hard?
