Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Mountains of impressive rituals aren't equal to one simple act of loving remembrance.
With hands gently together, I ask only to serve the humblest, kindest people.
A landmark ranking: "hundreds of thousands and millions of meditations, austerities and worships are not equal to remembering the Lord." One simple, loving act of remembrance outweighs mountains of impressive religious performance. And the humility: "Nanak begs... that he may become the slave of the slaves of Your slaves" — the wish to go as low as possible in loving service. The colophon (||2||6||7||) closes. For a child: one simple act of loving remembrance is worth more than mountains of showy rituals.
What's one small, sincere act of goodness worth more than a big showy one?
