In plain words

O my mind, let yourself love the One with all your heart.

With your ears, listen for wonder; with your voice, sing it out loud.

Love the One with your ears and your voice.
The deeper layer

This shabad opens with Ik Onkar — the Oneness that is the only reality — and the blessing of the true teacher. ray man raam si-o kar preet — O mind, love the Lord; sarvan gun sun-o ar gaa-o rasnaa geet — hear the praises with your ears and sing them with your tongue. This is the Rahau: love shown through listening and song.

A Question to Sit With

What is a song or sound that fills you with wonder?
