ਸੋ ਚੇਤੇ ਜਿਸੁ ਆਪਿ ਚੇਤਾਏ ॥
so chaytay jis aap chaytaa-ay.
He alone remembers the Lord, whom the Lord inspires to remember.
ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਵਸੈ ਮਨਿ ਆਏ ॥
gur kai sabad vasai man aa-ay.
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, He comes to dwell in the mind.
ਆਪੇ ਵੇਖੈ ਆਪੇ ਬੂਝੈ ਆਪੈ ਆਪੁ ਸਮਾਇਦਾ ॥੯॥
aapay vaykhai aapay boojhai aapai aap samaa-idaa. ||9||
He Himself sees, and He Himself understands; He merges all into Himself. ||9||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Even remembering the One is a gift the One awakens in me. Through the Guru's Word, the Beloved settles into my mind.
The One sees, the One understands, and gently gathers everything back into itself.
Even your remembering is a gift you are being given.
He alone remembers whom the One inspires to remember (jis aap chaytaa-ay) — remembrance itself as grace, not achievement. The One sees, understands, and merges all: the circle of grace completing itself.
A Question to Sit With
What good habit in you feels less like effort and more like a gift?
