Sikhism·Raag Raamkalee·Shabad 94
Verse 5 of 31

Day and Night, the Name in the Heart

ਇਕਿ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਭਗਤਿ ਕਰਹਿ ਦਿਨੁ ਰਾਤੀ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਉਰਿ ਧਾਰੀ ॥੪॥
ik an-din bhagat karahi din raatee raam naam ur Dhaaree. ||4||
Some worship the Lord in devotion, night and day; day and night, they keep the Lord's Name enshrined in their hearts. ||4||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Some love the One with devotion, night and day.

Day and night, they keep the Naam held close in their hearts.

Quiet, steady love outshines the loudest holy costume.
The deeper layer

Set directly against the costumed ones of the previous verse: ik an-din bhagat karahi — some love day and night, keeping raam naam ur dhaaree, the Name enshrined in the heart. No robes, no display — just steady, quiet devotion carried inside.

A Question to Sit With

What good things do you do quietly, without needing anyone to notice?
