Sikhism·Raag Raamkalee·Shabad 93
Verse 12 of 22

Then You Understand

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਸੁ ਪੂਜਾ ਜਾਣੈ ਭਾਣਾ ਮਨਿ ਵਸਾਈ ॥੧੧॥
gurmukh hovai so poojaa jaanai bhaanaa man vasaa-ee. ||11||
One who becomes Gurmukh, knows what worship is; the Lord's Will abides within his mind. ||11||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The one who turns toward the Guru knows what worship is.

The flow of existence lives in their mind.

Understanding worship and accepting the flow of life arrive together.
The deeper layer

Gurmukh hovai so poojaa jaanai — the one who faces the Guru knows what worship is. Where the manmukh only performs, the gurmukh knows. And the mark of that knowing is once more bhaanaa man vasaa-ee — the flow of existence at home in the mind.

A Question to Sit With

What is something you only understood after you stopped resisting it?
