Whatever God causes to happen is accepted, by those who are attuned to the Love of the Lord's Name.

tinH kee sobhaa sabhnee thaa-ee jinH parabh kay charan paraatay. ||1||
Those who fall at the Feet of God are respected everywhere. ||1||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

When your heart is soaked in love for the One, whatever life brings, you can meet it - you trust the flow of things instead of fighting it.

People who live bowed low like that, humble and grateful, are honoured wherever they go.

When you trust the flow, whatever comes, you can meet it.
The deeper layer

jo kichh karai so-ee maaneh - accepting whatever unfolds. This is mannai, inner alignment with the flow of existence (hukam) - not passive resignation but trust. rang raatay - dyed in the colour of love; charan paraatay - falling at the feet, humility.

A Question to Sit With

What is something hard you have slowly made peace with?
