ਸੋਈ ਕੰਮੁ ਕਮਾਇ ਜਿਤੁ ਮੁਖੁ ਉਜਲਾ ॥
so-ee kamm kamaa-ay jit mukh ujlaa.
So, do that work, by which your face shall be made radiant.
ਸੋਈ ਲਗੈ ਸਚਿ ਜਿਸੁ ਤੂੰ ਦੇਹਿ ਅਲਾ ॥੨॥
so-ee lagai sach jis tooN deh alaa. ||2||
He alone becomes attached to the Truth, O Lord, unto whom You give it. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
So do that work by which your face shall be made radiant.
Only that one becomes attached to the Truth, Lord, to whom You give it.
Choose the work that lights your face from within, not the work that dims you.
A practical question: "do that work, by which your face shall be made radiant." Choose the actions that light you up from within — the deeds that lead toward the One — rather than those that dim you. Yet even attachment to Truth is "given" by the One; the choosing and the grace work together.
A Question to Sit With
Which of your activities leave your face radiant, and which leave it dim?
