ਪਰਪੰਚ ਬੇਣੁ ਤਹੀ ਮਨੁ ਰਾਖਿਆ ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਅਗਨਿ ਪਰਜਾਰੀ ॥੫॥
parpanch bayn tahee man raakhi-aa barahm agan parjaaree. ||5||
He plays the flute of the universe in his mind, and lights the fire of God. ||5||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The heart plays the flute of the whole wide universe,
and kindles a bright inner fire of the divine.
You carry an instrument big enough to play the whole universe: your own heart.
Parpanch bayn — the flute (bayn) of the entire cosmos (parpanch), played within the mind. Barahm agan parjaaree — lighting the fire of the divine. The instruments keep turning inward: the whole universe is the melody, and the heart is where it is played.
A Question to Sit With
