Verse 2 of 9

Keep It in Mind

ਐਸਾ ਸਿਮਰਨੁ ਕਰਿ ਮਨ ਮਾਹਿ ॥
aisaa simran kar man maahi.
Practice such meditative remembrance in your mind.
ਬਿਨੁ ਸਿਮਰਨ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਕਤ ਨਾਹਿ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
bin simran mukat kat naahi. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Without this meditative remembrance, liberation will never be found. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Practise this kind of remembrance in your mind.

Without remembering, freedom is never found.

A small daily practice of remembering can open a big door.
The deeper layer

Practise this remembrance in your mind: it comes back as the refrain of the whole hymn, the rahaa-o or "pause" line. It is offered as an invitation and a delight, the small daily turning that opens a large door.

A Question to Sit With

What is a small thing you could remember each day that would help you?
