Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My heart, my heart — wisdom has filled it with love.
The beautiful Name has settled inside me and taken my pain away.
How lucky I feel; whether standing or sitting, I keep the good close, and I've found peace.
Sometimes your heart gets so full of something good you want to say it twice.
Guru Ram Das writes in his signature style — warm, repeating words like a heart too full to say things once ("my mind, my mind"). Wisdom "has blessed it with the Lord's Love," and the Name "dwells within, the Destroyer of all pain." It's the sound of overflowing gladness. For a child: sometimes your heart is so full of something good you want to say it twice.
A Question to Sit With
What good thing are you so glad about you'd want to say it twice?
