I am saving this to my [[Shabad bookmarks]] for a few reasons. Firstly, it is the last shabad in [[Shabad Hazarey]] which has always been something I felt connected with. But secondly, I always struggled with the word [[ਬਸਤੁ (Basat)]] and how to pronounce it. It wasn't until I heard this same word in the shabad [[ਦਿਨਸੁ ਰੈਨਿ ਮਨ ਮਾਹਿ ਬਸਤੁ ਹੈ ਤੂ ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਅਪਨੀ ॥੨॥]] which was sung at Gurdwara today and I heard the pronunciation. I immediately connected these two together because I've been saying it wrong this entire time…or have I? ---- ਬਿਲਾਵਲੁ ਮਹਲਾ ੧ ॥ Bilaawal, First Mehl: ਮਨੁ ਮੰਦਰੁ ਤਨੁ ਵੇਸ ਕਲੰਦਰੁ ਘਟ ਹੀ ਤੀਰਥਿ ਨਾਵਾ ॥ My mind is the temple, and my body is the simple cloth of the humble seeker; deep within my heart, I bathe at the sacred shrine. ਏਕੁ ਸਬਦੁ ਮੇਰੈ ਪ੍ਰਾਨਿ **ਬਸਤੁ** ਹੈ ਬਾਹੁੜਿ ਜਨਮਿ ਨ ਆਵਾ ॥੧॥ The One Word of the Shabad abides within my mind; I shall not come to be born again. ||1|| ਮਨੁ ਬੇਧਿਆ ਦਇਆਲ ਸੇਤੀ ਮੇਰੀ ਮਾਈ ॥ My mind is pierced through by the Merciful Lord, O my mother! ਕਉਣੁ ਜਾਣੈ ਪੀਰ ਪਰਾਈ ॥ Who can know the pain of another? ਹਮ ਨਾਹੀ ਚਿੰਤ ਪਰਾਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ I think of none other than the Lord. ||1||Pause|| ਅਗਮ ਅਗੋਚਰ ਅਲਖ ਅਪਾਰਾ ਚਿੰਤਾ ਕਰਹੁ ਹਮਾਰੀ ॥ O Lord, inaccessible, unfathomable, invisible and infinite: please, take care of me! ਜਲਿ ਥਲਿ ਮਹੀਅਲਿ ਭਰਿਪੁਰਿ ਲੀਣਾ ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਜੋਤਿ ਤੁਮੑਾਰੀ ॥੨॥ In the water, on the land and in sky, You are totally pervading. Your Light is in each and every heart. ||2|| ਸਿਖ ਮਤਿ ਸਭ ਬੁਧਿ ਤੁਮੑਾਰੀ ਮੰਦਿਰ ਛਾਵਾ ਤੇਰੇ ॥ All teachings, instructions and understandings are Yours; the mansions and sanctuaries are Yours as well. ਤੁਝ ਬਿਨੁ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਜਾਣਾ ਮੇਰੇ ਸਾਹਿਬਾ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਾ ਨਿਤ ਤੇਰੇ ॥੩॥ Without You, I know no other, O my Lord and Master; I continually sing Your Glorious Praises. ||3|| ਜੀਅ ਜੰਤ ਸਭਿ ਸਰਣਿ ਤੁਮੑਾਰੀ ਸਰਬ ਚਿੰਤ ਤੁਧੁ ਪਾਸੇ ॥ All beings and creatures seek the Protection of Your Sanctuary; all thought of their care rests with You. ਜੋ ਤੁਧੁ ਭਾਵੈ ਸੋਈ ਚੰਗਾ ਇਕ ਨਾਨਕ ਕੀ ਅਰਦਾਸੇ ॥੪॥੨॥ That which pleases Your Will is good; this alone is Nanak's prayer. ||4||2||
