Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:
ਦੋਸੁ ਨ ਕਾਹੂ ਦੀਜੀਐ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਧਿਆਈਐ ॥
dos na kaahoo deejee-ai parabh apnaa Dhi-aa-ee-ai.
Don't blame anyone else; meditate on your God.
ਜਿਤੁ ਸੇਵਿਐ ਸੁਖੁ ਹੋਇ ਘਨਾ ਮਨ ਸੋਈ ਗਾਈਐ ॥੧॥
jit sayvi-ai sukh ho-ay ghanaa man so-ee gaa-ee-ai. ||1||
Serving Him, great peace is obtained; O mind, sing His Praises. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When things go wrong, it is so easy to look around for someone to blame. But try this instead: turn your attention to the One.
Sitting with that, remembering that, brings a huge quiet peace. Let your heart sing about it.
Instead of hunting for someone to blame, turn toward what steadies you.
Turn to the One instead of looking for someone to blame.
Dos na kaahoo deejee-ai — lay blame on no one; prabh apnaa dhi-aa-ee-ai, remember your own God instead. The mind moves from grievance to remembrance, and the peace that follows is worth singing about.
A Question to Sit With
Next time something goes wrong, what could you do instead of blaming someone?
