Saarang, Fifth Mehl:
ਨਾਮ ਭਗਤਿ ਮਾਗੁ ਸੰਤ ਤਿਆਗਿ ਸਗਲ ਕਾਮੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
naam bhagat maag sant ti-aag sagal kaamee. ||1|| rahaa-o.
I beg for devotion to the Naam, the Name of the Lord; I have forsaken all other activities. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I ask for one thing: to love the Naam.
Everything else I used to chase after, I have set down.
When you know the one thing you want most, everything else gets quieter.
Ask for one thing only — naam bhagat, devotion to the Naam — and set down sagal kaamee, every other pursuit. When you know clearly what you most want, the wanting itself grows simpler and calmer.
A Question to Sit With
If you could ask for just one thing to keep close forever, what would it be?
