ਤਸਬੀ ਯਾਦਿ ਕਰਹੁ ਦਸ ਮਰਦਨੁ ਸੁੰਨਤਿ ਸੀਲੁ ਬੰਧਾਨਿ ਬਰਾ ॥੭॥
tasbee yaad karahu das mardan sunat seel banDhaan baraa. ||7||
Let your meditation beads be the subjugation of the ten senses. Let good conduct and self-restraint be your circumcision. ||7||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
At every hour, in every moment, keep the Maker warm in your heart.
Let the beads you count be the quieting of your ten wandering senses.
Let good conduct and self-control be your sunnat, the mark you carry.
The best rhythm to keep is a heart that keeps remembering.
Remembering the Maker at every moment. The tasbee (prayer-beads) becomes the quieting of the ten senses, and the sunnat (circumcision) becomes good conduct and self-control, the mark carried inside.
A Question to Sit With
What is a small thing you could return to again and again through a day?
