Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Some people wait patiently on what's good and wrap their hearts around it with love.
When they do, they don't just brighten their own lives — they lift up everyone around them, too.
A short, hopeful Shalok: those who "serve the True Guru and embrace love for the Name" don't only "reform their own lives" — they "redeem their generations as well." This is the Vaar's recurring communal note: goodness is never merely private. One person turning toward the good sends ripples outward and forward — lifting family, friends, those who come after. For a child: becoming a kinder, calmer person is a gift you give everyone connected to you.
Who in your life is lifted up when you're at your best?
