ਚਿਤ ਚੇਤਸਿ ਕੀ ਨਹੀ ਬਾਵਰਿਆ ॥
chit chaytas kee nahee baavri-aa.
Why do you not keep Him in your consciousness, you mad man?
ਹਰਿ ਬਿਸਰਤ ਤੇਰੇ ਗੁਣ ਗਲਿਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
har bisrat tayray gun gali-aa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Forgetting the Lord, your own virtues shall rot away. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O my crazy mind, why don't you keep the One in your thoughts?
When you forget the One, your good qualities waste away.
What you remember, you keep alive; what you forget quietly fades.
Attention is what keeps our best qualities alive. Simran, keeping the One in mind, is not a chore but the practice that keeps kindness, patience, and courage from fading through neglect.
A Question to Sit With
What is a good quality in you that grows when you pay attention to it?
