Raag Sorath
Commentary

Raag Sorath, Du-Padas, Mehl 5 (Guru Arjan)

The Name woven into the heart, a long-dormant seed of goodness finally wakes.

The Arc

Pauri 0: the Name is threaded into the cloth of the heart and life comes together. Rahau (Pauri 1): remembering in good company through the whole day, the heart's wish is met; a seed planted long ago wakes and sprouts, and the whole self settles into that living presence.

Key Vocabulary

  • har naam ridai paroiaa: the Name threaded through the heart
  • aath pahar: all eight watches, the whole day
  • paraa poorbalaa ankur jaagiaa: a long-dormant seed sprouting
