Whatever You Do Is Good for Me

ਤੂ ਮੇਰੀ ਓਟ ਬਲ ਬੁਧਿ ਧਨੁ ਤੁਮ ਹੀ ਤੁਮਹਿ ਮੇਰੈ ਪਰਵਾਰੈ ॥
too mayree ot bal buDh Dhan tum hee tumeh mayrai parvaarai.
You are my shelter and support, power, intellect and wealth; You are my family.
ਜੋ ਤੁਮ ਕਰਹੁ ਸੋਈ ਭਲ ਹਮਰੈ ਪੇਖਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਸੁਖ ਚਰਨਾਰੈ ॥੨॥੨॥੮੨॥
jo tum karahu so-ee bhal hamrai paykh naanak sukh charnaarai. ||2||2||82||
Whatever You do, I know that is good. Gazing upon Your Lotus Feet, Nanak is at peace. ||2||2||82||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

You are my shelter, my strength, my clear thinking, my treasure — You are my family.

Whatever You do, I trust it is good for me. Nanak says: resting my eyes on Your feet, I am at peace.

Whatever happens, you are held.
The deeper layer

tum hee mayrai parvaarai — You are my family, a striking intimacy. jo tum karahu so-ee bhal — acceptance of hukam, the flow of existence, as good. The peace comes from trust.

A Question to Sit With

What helps you trust that things will be okay?
