ਸਿਮਰਿ ਮਨਾ ਤੂ ਸਾਚਾ ਸੋਇ ॥
simar manaa too saachaa so-ay.
O my mind, meditate in remembrance on the True Lord.
ਹਲਤਿ ਪਲਤਿ ਤੁਮਰੀ ਗਤਿ ਹੋਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
halat palat tumree gat ho-ay. ||1|| rahaa-o.
In this world and the next, you shall be saved. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O my mind, remember the True One.
In this world and the next, you will be set free.
A gentle reminder to yourself can steady the whole day.
Remember the True One, and you are set free, here and beyond.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the centre of the shabad. Simar manaa: remember, O mind, words spoken to yourself. Halat palat: this world and the next. Gat: freedom, being carried safely across.
A Question to Sit With
