ਰਵਿ ਸਸਿ ਲਉਕੇ ਇਹੁ ਤਨੁ ਕਿੰਗੁਰੀ ਵਾਜੈ ਸਬਦੁ ਨਿਰਾਰੀ ॥੭॥
rav sas la-ukay ih tan kinguree vaajai sabad niraaree. ||7||
The right and left nostrils, the sun and the moon channels, are the strings of the body-harp; they vibrate the wondrous melody of the Shabad. ||7||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The two channels of the breath, like sun and moon, are the strings of the body-harp,
and they sound the wondrous melody of the Word.
Even your breathing can be part of the music, if you listen for it.
Rav sas — sun and moon, the right and left breath-channels (the Yogic nadis); ih tan kinguree — this body as a harp. Sabad niraaree — the wondrous, matchless melody of the Word. The Yogis' breath-science becomes an image: your very breathing is an instrument playing the Word.
A Question to Sit With
Have you ever noticed your own steady breathing calming you down?
