Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Say the Name every single day, O my mind.
You will find lasting peace, contentment, and calm — and your wrongs will fall away.
This is the pause line, the center of the shabad. It asks for one small thing, every day: remember the Name.
Raam naam nit jap man mayray — "say the Name every day, O my mind." The Name works through steady practice, day after day, not in big dramatic bursts. It is like brushing your teeth or practicing an instrument. A few minutes each day does more than one long session once a month.
And look what grows from it: seetal saant sadaa sukh — coolness, calm, and lasting peace. The wrongs we carry, kilvikh, fall away by themselves.
What good thing works best when you do it a little every single day?
