ਆਪੇ ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਪੂਜ ਕਰਾਏ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੀ ਥਾਇ ਪਾਈ ॥੯॥
aapay nirmal pooj karaa-ay gur sabdee thaa-ay paa-ee. ||9||
The Immaculate Lord Himself inspires worship of Him; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, it is accepted and approved. ||9||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The pure One stirs the wish to worship in you.
Through the Guru's Word, that worship is accepted.
Even your longing for something good was quietly given to you.
Aapay nirmal pooj karaa-ay — the Immaculate One Himself inspires the worship of Him. This is grace in its fullest form: the goal is given, and so is the desire to reach it. Worship is a gift that includes even our first wish to offer it, far from a ladder we climb to earn favor.
A Question to Sit With
Where do you think your best wishes come from?
