Meeting the Guru, servant Nanak blossoms forth. ||4||2||[/COLOR][/LEFT] There are two remarkable things in this shabad. One is the image of a baby and its parent. We have seen how when a baby starts to babble and make those lilting and musical sounds, parents, or any loving adult, will babble and coo back. It is still a conversation, a conversation about nothing, only about making a connection in lilting sounds. Only the most cold-hearted parent does not respond to a child with parental coos. The shabad sees Hari, Waheguru, as a loving parent who supports and cherishes. The other remarkable thing, in my opinion, is the way that Guru Ram Das maintains the metaphor of the lotus in the shabad's structure. First Guru Ram Das says "the lotus of my heart blossoms forth." The fulfillment gained by hari ras. Then at the end Guru Ram Das, speaking in the voice of Nanak says, Nanak blossoms forth. Guru Ram Das finds the fulfillment, he blossoms forth (like the lotus) because he has met the Guru. These themes of har ras, fulfillment, the lotus -- throughout the maajh raag. I know that you responded before I could respond. It took me some time to think about this. Apologies. [/QUOTE]
