Slave Nanak is forever a sacrifice
ਸੇਵਕ ਸੰਤ ਰਾਜਾ ਰਾਮ ਮੁਰਾਰੀ ॥੪॥੧੯॥੨੫॥
sayvak sant raajaa raam muraaree. ||4||19||25||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

I feel endless devotion toward the humble servants and good-hearted people who live near the One.

Being around them, something of their steadiness rubs off on me.

Spending time near steady, good people makes you steadier too.
The deeper layer

naanak daas sadaa balihaaree — endless devotion sayvak sant raajaa raam muraaree — to the servants and Saints of the Sovereign One. Honoring the community that lives the teaching. ||4||19||25||.

A Question to Sit With

Whose steadiness do you wish would rub off on you a little?
