Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Let modesty and humility be the elders who welcome you. Let quiet understanding guide you. And let your good actions be your life-partner, walking beside you every day.
A good life is a home you build out of how you act.
Guru Nanak carries the family picture one step further, into marriage. In his culture, a bride moves into her in-laws' home, and it becomes her second home. (Raag Maajh paints the full picture of the soul as a bride.)
In this new home, saram, modesty and humility, are the elders who welcome you. Surat, quiet understanding, is your guide. And karnee, your good actions, is your life-partner.
Picture moving into a new house. What makes it home is not the walls. It is the people you live with and how you treat each other. A spiritual life works the same way. It is not an idea up in the clouds. It is a home you actually live in, built from how you behave.
What good action could become a steady companion in your daily life?
