ਦਿਨੁ ਰੈਨਿ ਅਪਨਾ ਕੀਆ ਪਾਈ ॥
din rain apnaa kee-aa paa-ee.
Day and night, they receive the rewards of their own actions.
ਕਿਸੁ ਦੋਸੁ ਨ ਦੀਜੈ ਕਿਰਤੁ ਭਵਾਈ ॥੪॥
kis dos na deejai kirat bhavaa-ee. ||4||
Don't blame anyone else; your own actions lead you astray. ||4||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Day and night, what comes back to us grows out of what we ourselves have done.
So there is no use pointing fingers — the honest move is to look at our own choices and learn from them.
Look honestly at your own choices instead of pointing fingers.
din rain apnaa kee-aa paa-ee — day and night one reaps one's own doing; kis dos na deejai kirat bhavaa-ee — blame no one else; one's own actions carry one along. A clear, empowering statement of kirat, the momentum of our own deeds — responsibility, not shame.
A Question to Sit With
When something goes wrong, how do you tell the difference between what was yours to own and what was not?
