A shabad on bhaanaa, the flow of existence, and the ease of moving with it. P0 defines devotion as simply what fits that flow, opened in a person as a gift. The rahaao (P1) names the One as the support the steady ones lean on. P2 celebrates two-way love — the One as beloved of all who love; P3 offers a single prayer to always keep the One in mind; P4 closes with a song for every breath and the peace of the Name, received when the moment is glad.

Themes and Cross-Connections
Bhaanaa here is the same current the project renders as Hukam — not commands from above but the way existence actually moves. Devotion is defined not as ritual performance but as alignment: welcoming what comes because one leans on the One beneath it all.
Translation Notes
P3's visar naahee ("may I never forget You") is rendered positively — "may I always keep You in mind" — following the project's preference for positive framing over negation.
For Raag Soohee
Ghar 7 closes this run of Guru Arjan's shorter Soohee shabads; its restful acceptance and breath-by-breath song settle the raag's longing into peace.
"That alone is devotion which fits Your flow."
