ਵਾਰਿ ਵਾਰਿ ਜਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਊਪਰਿ ਪੈ ਪੈਰੀ ਸੰਤ ਮਨਾਈ ॥੧੧॥
vaar vaar jaa-ee gur oopar pai pairee sant manaa-ee. ||11||
I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to my Guru; falling at His Feet, I surrender to the Saintly Guru. ||11||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I'm so thankful for the wisdom that guides me that I could give myself over to it again and again.
I bow to it with my whole heart — not out of fear, but out of a gratitude so big it wants to lay everything down.
Some gratitude is so big it wants to bow all the way down.
vaar vaar jaa-ee gur oopar, pai pairee sant manaa-ee — again and again a glad offering to the teaching, bowing at its feet. balihaar here is devotion, not fear; gratitude that overflows into surrender.
