ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਮਨਿ ਆਰਾਧੇ ਰਸਨਾ ਹਰਿ ਜਸੁ ਗਾਵੈ ॥
har har har har man aaraaDhay rasnaa har jas gaavai.
His mind worships and adores the Lord, Har, Har, Har, Har; his tongue sings the Praises of the Lord.
ਤਜਿ ਅਭਿਮਾਨੁ ਕਾਮ ਕ੍ਰੋਧੁ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਬਾਸੁਦੇਵ ਰੰਗੁ ਲਾਵੈ ॥੧॥
taj abhimaan kaam kroDh nindaa baasudayv rang laavai. ||1||
Abandoning egotistical pride, sexual desire, anger and slander, he embraces love for the Lord. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My mind turns toward the One again and again, and my voice sings that praise until it feels natural.
I lay down the heavy things I have been hauling — pride, grabbing wants, hot anger, the habit of running others down — and let love for the One take their place.
Set the heavy things down and pick up love instead.
Taj abhimaan kaam krodh nindaa — setting down pride, craving, anger, slander — is the classic release of the vices, framed here as laying down a load, not self-punishment. What fills the emptied space is rang, the color of love. Aaraadhay is loving remembrance.
A Question to Sit With
Which heavy thing — anger, jealousy, put-downs — would you most like to set down?
