Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Let me sing the spotless goodness of the One every single day, as a steady habit of the heart.
As I do, the things that ailed me lift, and I find myself carried through, my dear friend.
Nirmal gun gaavhu nit neet — "sing the pure virtues, day after day, always." The emphasis is on nit neet, steady dailiness — not a single dramatic effort but a gentle habit. Ga-ee bi-aadh ubray jan meet — "the ailment departs, you are lifted up, O friend." Again the warm address, meet, friend. The verse's own language is direct; the healing it speaks of is read here as cumulative and quiet, the fruit of returning to the practice again and again, the way small daily waterings grow a plant.
What good habit, done a little each day, has slowly changed you more than any big effort could?
