ਨਾਨਕ ਭਗਤਾ ਭਲੀ ਰੀਤਿ ॥
naanak bhagtaa bhalee reet.
O Nanak, the way of the devotees is good.
ਸੁਖਦਾਤਾ ਜਪਦੇ ਨੀਤ ਨੀਤਿ ॥੪॥੩॥੧੬॥
sukh-daata japday neet neet. ||4||3||16||
They meditate continually, continuously, on the Lord, the Giver of peace. ||4||3||16||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Nanak says: the way of the One's devotees is good.
Again and again, every day, they keep the Giver of peace in mind.
A good daily habit can quietly shape a whole good life.
The good way to live is to keep the Giver of peace in mind, day after day.
Naanak bhagtaa bhalee reet: Nanak says the reet, the way of life, of the bhagat, the people who love the One, is good. Sukh-daata japday neet neet: they remember the Sukh-daata, the Giver of peace, every single day.
Think of brushing your teeth. You do it every morning and every night, and over the years it keeps you healthy. Remembering the One day after day works like that for the heart.
