Sikhism·Raag Raamkalee·Shabad 95
Verse 19 of 22

Keep in Mind the One Who Made You

ਤਿਸ ਨੋ ਪ੍ਰਾਣੀ ਸਦਾ ਧਿਆਵਹੁ ਜਿਨਿ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਬਣਤ ਬਣਾਈ ॥੧੮॥
tis no paraanee sadaa Dhi-aavahu jin gurmukh banat banaa-ee. ||18||
O mortal, meditate forever on the Lord, who has made the Gurmukh in His making. ||18||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

O people, keep the One in mind, always — the way you hold someone you love in your thoughts.

It is the One who shaped the Gurmukh, the one who turns to the Guru.

Keep the One in mind the way you keep someone you love in your thoughts.
The deeper layer

Sadaa dhiaavahu — steady remembrance (simran); jin gurmukh banat banaaee — the One who fashioned even the seeker. Meditation framed warmly, as keeping the beloved in mind.

A Question to Sit With

Who do you keep in your thoughts even when they are not near?
