Raag Soohee, Shabad 78 - I Lay My Whole Inside Open to You
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I set my whole inner self out in front of You - nothing hidden - because there is no one greater to bring it to.
And whoever gets drawn close to You is drawn by You; that closeness itself is Your doing.
I show You everything inside me, because no one is greater than You.
Antar kee gat tuDh peh saaree — I set the whole state of my inside before You. Nothing is hidden. It is like finally telling a parent everything about your day, the good parts and the hard parts. You feel lighter afterwards. TuDh jayvad avar na ko-ee — no one else is as great as You.
Jis no laa-ay laihi so laagai — the one You draw close is the one who comes close. So even loving the One is the One's doing. That keeps us from taking credit. Nobody gets to say, "Look how good I am at loving God." The love itself was given.
Is there someone you can lay your whole inside open to?
