ਜਿਨ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪਿਆਰਾ ਦੇਖਿਆ ਤਿਨ ਕਉ ਹਉ ਵਾਰੀ ॥
jin satgur pi-aaraa daykhi-aa tin ka-o ha-o vaaree.
I am dedicated and devoted to those who gaze upon the Beloved True Guru.
ਜਿਨ ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਕੀਤੀ ਚਾਕਰੀ ਤਿਨ ਸਦ ਬਲਿਹਾਰੀ ॥੩॥
jin gur kee keetee chaakree tin sad balihaaree. ||3||
I am forever a sacrifice to those who perform service for the Guru. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I am devoted to those who gaze on the beloved true teaching.
Forever a sacrifice to those who serve it.
To love the One is to love and honor everyone else who does — devotion keeps widening outward.
A short verse of reverence for the devoted — those who "gaze upon" and "perform service for" the Guru. Ram Das keeps directing his love not only to the One and the teaching but to the people who love them. This is the raag's steady widening of devotion outward: to love the One is to love, and honor, everyone who does.
A Question to Sit With
Whose devotion to a good thing do you find yourself admiring and wanting to honor?
