A Face Grown Bright

ਕਰਿ ਅਨੁਗ੍ਰਹ ਰਾਖਿ ਲੀਨੇ ਏਕ ਨਾਮ ਅਧਾਰ ॥
kar anugrah raakh leenay ayk naam aDhaar.
He showers us with His kindness and compassion; He saves and protects those who take the Support of the Naam, the Name of the One Lord.
ਦਿਨ ਰੈਨਿ ਸਿਮਰਤ ਸਦਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਮੁਖ ਊਜਲ ਦਰਬਾਰਿ ॥੨॥੧੦੩॥੧੨੬॥
din rain simrat sadaa naanak mukh oojal darbaar. ||2||103||126||
Meditating in remembrance on Him, day and night, O Nanak, your face shall be radiant in the Court of the Lord. ||2||103||126||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The One pours out kindness and keeps safe everyone who leans on the one Name.

Nanak says: remember the One morning and night, and your face grows bright and welcome, glad to be seen.

Steady remembrance makes a face bright and welcome.
The deeper layer

The One pours kindness on all who lean on the one Name (ayk naam adhaar), and day-and-night remembrance makes a face bright and welcome (mukh oojal). Remembering steadily changes even how you show up.

A Question to Sit With

What practice, done steadily, changes how you feel day to day?
