Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
As you sing the One's praises, a light comes on inside you,
and you find your home at the feet of the One.
When you sing about the One, a light comes on inside you.
Gun gaavat hovat pargaas means that singing about the One's goodness brings pargaas, a light inside. The song is more than a pretty sound. It is like opening the curtains in a dark room. Everything inside gets brighter and clearer.
Then the heart settles charan kamal meh, at the One's "lotus feet." The lotus is a beautiful flower. Resting at someone's feet means feeling safe and close, like a little child sitting by a parent. The heart finds a place that feels like home.
When has singing or music changed how you felt inside?
