Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O my Lord of the Universe — singing Your Glorious Praises, my mind is satisfied.
Within me is the thirst for the Lord's Name. May the Guru, in His Pleasure, grant it to me.
The asking is genuine, the waiting is genuine, and the receiving is the Guru's pleasure — not the seeker's achievement.
The rahao holds two things simultaneously: the satisfaction of singing praises (man triptaa-i-aa) AND the ongoing thirst (pipaasei) for more. This is not contradiction — it is the nature of genuine devotion. Each taste creates a deeper desire for more.
Guru prasan kari deh — "may the Guru, in His Pleasure, grant it." The grant is the Guru's pleasure, not the seeker's achievement. The seeker's role: to sing, to thirst, to ask. The Guru's role: to give, in His own time and way.
Is there something in your life where more contact makes you want more, not less — where the relationship deepens rather than plateaus? What is that?
