Verse 4 of 5

Whatever You Do Is Good

ਜੋ ਤੁਮ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਕਰਹੁ ਸੋਈ ਭਲਾ ਮਨਿ ਲੇਤਾ ਮੁਕਤਾ ॥
jo tumH karahu so-ee bhalaa man laytaa muktaa.
One who accepts whatever You do as good - that mind is liberated.
ਸਗਲ ਸਮਗ੍ਰੀ ਤੇਰੀਆ ਸਭ ਤੇਰੀ ਜੁਗਤਾ ॥੩॥
sagal samagree tayree-aa sabh tayree jugtaa. ||3||
The entire creation is Yours; all are subject to Your Ways. ||3||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Here is a freeing thought: whatever the One does, take it as good. A mind that can do that walks around free.

Everything there is belongs to the One, and it all moves the way the One moves. You are part of that too.

A mind that can accept what comes walks around free.
The deeper layer

A mind that takes what comes as good walks free.

Jo tum karahu so-ee bhalaa man laytaa muktaa — the mind that accepts whatever You do as good is set free. Sagal samagree tayree-aa — all creation is the One's, and everything moves in the One's way. Trusting acceptance is what frees the mind.

A Question to Sit With

Is there something you cannot change right now that you could try to accept?
