I meditate on the Lord in my mind and body.
ਆਨੰਦ ਹਰਿ ਰੂਪ ਦਿਖਾਇਆ ॥੨॥
aanand har roop dikhaa-i-aa. ||2||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

You are the cause behind everything.

Your lotus feet are my shelter.

In mind and body, I hold You.

And the joyful One has shown me its own form.

When you turn toward the One with your whole self, it shows itself to you.
The deeper layer

Tum hee kaaran karan — You are the cause of causes. Man tan har ohee dhi-aa-i-aa: remembered in both mind and body — whole-person devotion. Aanand har roop dikhaa-i-aa: the blissful One reveals its form — the fruit of that wholeness is a kind of seeing.

A Question to Sit With

When have you given something your whole self, body and mind together?
