Turn Toward the Merciful One Again and Again

ਮਨ ਮੇਰੇ ਰਾਮ ਰਉ ਨਿਤ ਨੀਤਿ ॥
man mayray raam ra-o nit neet.
O my mind, continually, continuously, meditate on the Lord.
ਦਇਆਲ ਦੇਵ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਲ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸੁਨਿ ਸੰਤਨਾ ਕੀ ਰੀਤਿ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
da-i-aal dayv kirpaal gobind sun santnaa kee reet. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The Lord of the Universe is merciful, divine and compassionate. Listen - this is the way of the Saints. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

O my mind, remember the One, day after day, always.

The One who holds the whole world is kind, shining and full of mercy.

Listen: this is the way of the saints.

Turn toward the merciful One, again and again.
The deeper layer

Man mayray raam ra-o nit neet — my mind, remember the One day after day. The One is da-i-aal and kirpaal, kind and merciful. Every picture that follows, from the tree to the fire, shows what that mercy looks like when it flows through nature.

A Question to Sit With

What is one small way you could remember the One during your day?
