Third Mehl:
ਸੂਹਵੀਏ ਨਿਮਾਣੀਏ ਸੋ ਸਹੁ ਸਦਾ ਸਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਾਲਿ ॥
soohvee-ay nimaanee-ay so saho sadaa samHaal.
O meek, red-robed bride, keep your Husband Lord always in your thoughts.
ਨਾਨਕ ਜਨਮੁ ਸਵਾਰਹਿ ਆਪਣਾ ਕੁਲੁ ਭੀ ਛੁਟੀ ਨਾਲਿ ॥੨॥
naanak janam savaareh aapnaa kul bhee chhutee naal. ||2||
O Nanak, your life shall be embellished, and your generations shall be saved along with you. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Keep the One close in your thoughts, always — quietly, the way you keep someone you love in mind even when they are not in the room.
Do this, and your own life grows beautiful. And you are not the only one lifted: the goodness spills over to the people around you, to your family, to those who come after you.
Holding the One in mind quietly lifts not just you but everyone around you.
nimaanee = the humble one; sammaal = hold, cherish, keep watch over. kul bhee chhutee naal = the whole family lifted along with you — remembrance is not private; its warmth reaches outward through a household and a lineage.
A Question to Sit With
How does one calm, kind person change the mood of a whole family or room?
