ਮਿਲੈ ਗੁਰ ਸਾਚੇ ਜਿਨਿ ਰਚੁ ਰਾਚੇ ਕਿਰਤੁ ਵੀਚਾਰਿ ਪਤੀਣਾ ॥੪॥
milai gur saachay jin rach raachay kirat veechaar pateenaa. ||4||
The One who created the creation has met the True Guru; contemplating the Guru's lifestyle, He is pleased. ||4||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One who made the whole creation has met the True Guru,
and reflecting on the Guru's way of living, is pleased.
The deepest truths meet you in how you choose to live.
The Maker of all creation and the True Guru meet, and a life lived well brings contentment.
Jin rach raachay — the One who made the creation. Milai gur saachay — meets the True Guru. Kirat veechaar means reflecting on how one lives and works. Pateenaa again means content, pleased. Think of a gardener smiling at a garden that grows well. The deepest truths show up in how we choose to live, here and now.
A Question to Sit With
How does the way you live each day show what you believe?
