Remember and Serve, and Be Accepted as You Are

ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਹੁ ਮੇਰੇ ਭਾਈ ॥

Chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, O my Siblings of Destiny.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸੇਵਾ ਹਰਿ ਘਾਲ ਥਾਇ ਪਾਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
gurmukh sayvaa har ghaal thaa-ay paa-ee. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The Gurmukhs serve the Lord, and so they are accepted. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Keep the One's name moving in you. Those turned toward the teaching serve, and so they are accepted.

Remember and serve, and you are accepted as you are.
The deeper layer

The Rahao: remembrance and service make one accepted. Acceptance is the fruit of service, not of performance.

A Question to Sit With

What does it feel like to be accepted just for showing up sincerely?
