ਜਿਉ ਕਾਮੀ ਕਾਮਿ ਲੁਭਾਵੈ ॥
ji-o kaamee kaam lubhaavai.
Just as the lustful man is enticed by lust,
ਤਿਉ ਹਰਿ ਦਾਸ ਹਰਿ ਜਸੁ ਭਾਵੈ ॥੨॥
ti-o har daas har jas bhaavai. ||2||
so is the Lord's slave pleased with the Lord's Praise. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Just as a person is pulled strongly toward whatever they deeply long for, a loving heart is drawn to the One's praise.
That pull is not a burden; it is the heart following what it loves.
What you love pulls you toward it — so it matters what you learn to love.
jiu kaamee kaam lubhaavai — as one is drawn by strong craving; here rendered as being drawn to what one longs for, keeping it age-appropriate. tiu har daas har jas bhaavai — so praise delights the devotee.
A Question to Sit With
What is something you love so much you feel pulled toward it?
