Verse 2 of 5

When Will I Finally Feel Close to What I Love?

ਸੁਹਾਵੀ ਕਉਣੁ ਸੁ ਵੇਲਾ ਜਿਤੁ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਮੇਲਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
suhaavee ka-un so vaylaa jit parabh maylaa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
What is that auspicious moment, when God is met? ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

What is that lucky moment when the heart finally meets the One?

The heart keeps asking: when will I finally feel close to what I love?
The deeper layer

The rahao is a single yearning question: "What is that auspicious moment, when God is met?" The whole shabad turns on this longing — when does the meeting happen? The answer (P4) will be: after all the wandering, in the company of the good, by grace.

A Question to Sit With

Have you ever waited and waited for a moment you really longed for?
