Saarang, Fifth Mehl:
ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਬਸੇ ਮਨ ਮੇਰੈ ॥
gur kay charan basay man mayrai.
The Feet of the Guru abide within my mind.
ਪੂਰਿ ਰਹਿਓ ਠਾਕੁਰੁ ਸਭ ਥਾਈ ਨਿਕਟਿ ਬਸੈ ਸਭ ਨੇਰੈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
poor rahi-o thaakur sabh thaa-ee nikat basai sabh nayrai. ||1|| rahaa-o.
My Lord and Master is permeating and pervading all places; He dwells nearby, close to all. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The feet of the Guru have made their home in my mind.
The Master fills every place. The One lives close by, near to everyone.
What you are looking for is nearer than you think.
With the Guru in the mind, the One turns out to be near.
Gur kay charan basay man mayrai — the Guru's feet, the teaching and presence, settle in my mind. From that settling comes the knowing that the One is poor rahi-o sabh thaa-ee, filling all places, and nikat basai sabh nayrai, living near, close to all. The One is ever-present, closer than breath.
A Question to Sit With
Where do you usually look for something you have been missing that was close all along?
