ਜਿਚਰੁ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਸਾਸੁ ਤਿਚਰੁ ਸੇਵਾ ਕੀਚੈ ਜਾਇ ਮਿਲੀਐ ਰਾਮ ਮੁਰਾਰੀ ॥੨੫॥
jichar andar saas tichar sayvaa keechai jaa-ay milee-ai raam muraaree. ||25||
As long as there is breath within you, so long you should serve the Lord; then, you will go and meet the Lord. ||25||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
For as long as there is breath in you, keep serving the One.
Then you will go and meet the One.
The time to love and draw close is now, while you are here.
Jichar andar saas tichar sayvaa keechai — while breath remains, serve. Not a threat but an invitation into the present: the time to draw near (jaa-ay milee-ai raam muraaree) is now, in this living, breathing moment. Love is a thing for the present tense.
A Question to Sit With
What good thing have you been saving for later that you could begin today?
