ਕਰਿ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ਆਚਾਰੁ ਪਰਾਤਾ ॥
kar beechaar aachaar paraataa.
In reflective meditation, I have come to love good conduct.
ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਬਚਨੀ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਤਾ ॥
satgur bachnee ayko jaataa.
Through the Word of the True Guru, I recognize the One Lord.
ਨਾਨਕ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮਿ ਮਨੁ ਰਾਤਾ ॥੧੦॥੭॥
naanak raam naam man raataa. ||10||7||
O Nanak, my mind is imbued with the Lord's Name. ||10||7||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In reflective meditation, I have come to love good conduct;
through the Word of the true Guru, I recognize the One. O Nanak, my mind is imbued with the Name.
Real meditation makes you love good conduct, not merely obey it.
The close: "reflective meditation" leads to a love of good conduct — right living becomes not a burden but something loved — and through the Word the One is recognized. Meditation and ethics grow together; the imbued mind naturally loves the good.
A Question to Sit With
