O Nanak, the bride ravishes and enjoys Him; and He, the Ravisher, ravishes and enjoys her. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Let go of the fading color and take on the deep crimson of love. When you reflect on the teaching, all the restless coming and going quiets down.
A heart is truly beautiful when the One lives right there inside it, at home. Then there is a closeness that goes both ways — you delight in the One, and the One delights in you.
When the One is at home in your heart, the restlessness quiets and closeness grows.
aavan jaanaa veesrai = the restless cycle is forgotten. sahj bhataar = the Beloved dwells in sahaj, natural ease, within the home of the heart. raavee-ai raavay ravanhaar = the mutual delight of union, kept warm and child-safe.
A Question to Sit With
