ਰਾਮਕਲੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥
raamkalee mehlaa 5.
Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:
ਤਨ ਤੇ ਛੁਟਕੀ ਅਪਨੀ ਧਾਰੀ ॥
tan tay chhutkee apnee Dhaaree.
My self-conceit has been eliminated from my body.
ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੀ ਆਗਿਆ ਲਗੀ ਪਿਆਰੀ ॥
parabh kee aagi-aa lagee pi-aaree.
The Will of God is dear to me.
ਜੋ ਕਿਛੁ ਕਰੈ ਸੁ ਮਨਿ ਮੇਰੈ ਮੀਠਾ ॥
jo kichh karai so man mayrai meethaa.
Whatever He does, seems sweet to my mind.
ਤਾ ਇਹੁ ਅਚਰਜੁ ਨੈਨਹੁ ਡੀਠਾ ॥੧॥
taa ih achraj nainhu deethaa. ||1||
And then, these eyes behold the wondrous Lord. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The "it's all about me" feeling has left my body.
The One's will feels dear to me.
Whatever the One does tastes sweet to my mind.
And then these eyes see the Wonderful One.
When the "all about me" feeling leaves, the One's will tastes sweet.
Apnee Dhaaree chhutkee — self-conceit (haumai, the feeling of being a separate self) drops away, and aagi-aa lagee pi-aaree — the Will, the flow of existence, becomes dear. Then achraj nainhu deethaa — the wonder that was always present is finally seen.
A Question to Sit With
When does letting go of "me first" make a moment better?
