Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Remember, keep remembering the perfect God, and your work comes out right.
In Kartarpur, the Maker's own town, the Maker lives beside the saints.
Keep remembering, and things fall into place.
It is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the one the shabad keeps coming back to. Simar simar pooran parabhoo — remember, keep remembering, the perfect One. Kaaraj bha-ay raas — and your tasks come out right. It is like a jigsaw puzzle. Once you find the corner pieces, the rest starts to fit.
Kartaar pur means "the Creator's town." It is also the name of the town Guru Nanak founded, where people farmed, sang and ate together. Here it pictures a place where the One lives right beside good people. Kartaa vasai santan kai paas — the Creator lives close to the good.
When has staying calm and steady helped things work themselves out?
