ਬੈਰਾੜੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ॥
bairaarhee mehlaa 4.
Bairaaree, Fourth Mehl:
ਜਪਿ ਮਨ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਤ ਧਿਆਇ ॥
jap man har har naam nit Dhi-aa-ay.
O my mind, chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har; meditate on it continually.
ਜੋ ਇਛਹਿ ਸੋਈ ਫਲੁ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਦੂਖੁ ਨ ਲਾਗੈ ਆਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
jo ichheh so-ee fal paavahi fir dookh na laagai aa-ay. ||1|| rahaa-o.
You shall obtain the fruits of your heart's desires, and pain shall never touch you again. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Keep the good in mind each day, O my mind, and return to it often.
You'll find what your heart truly longs for, and lasting hurt won't get its grip on you.
Keeping the good in mind each day brings what your heart truly longs for — and keeps hurt from getting its grip.
The rahao: "chant the Name daily... you shall obtain the fruits of your heart's desires, and pain shall never touch you again." Daily, repeated remembrance — a gentle habit returned to again and again — brings what the heart truly wants and keeps lasting hurt from taking hold. For a child: keeping the good in mind each day brings what your heart truly longs for, and keeps hurt from getting its grip.
A Question to Sit With
What good habit could you return to each day?
