Raag Soohee, Shabad 80 - You Already Know What Is Inside Me
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You already know everything inside me - every thought before I say it, every feeling before I name it.
So be kind to me, gentle guide, and let me sing Your praises every single day.
The One already knows everything inside me, so I only ask for kindness and a song.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line at the center of the shabad. Too parabh antarjaamee — You, God, are the antarjaamee, the one who knows what is inside. The One reads the heart directly. So nothing needs explaining. It is like a best friend who can tell you are sad before you say a word.
Kar kirpaa gurdayv da-i-aalaa — be kind to me, gentle Guru. Gurdayv means the Guru as a divine, loving guide. Gun gaavaa nit su-aamee — so that I may sing my Master's praises every day.
How does it feel to be fully known by someone who is kind?
