Keeping It Always in Sight

ਸਭੁ ਦਿਨਸੁ ਰੈਣਿ ਦੇਖਉ ਗੁਰੁ ਅਪੁਨਾ ਵਿਚਿ ਅਖੀ ਗੁਰ ਪੈਰ ਧਰਾਈ ॥੨੮॥
sabh dinas rain daykh-a-u gur apunaa vich akhee gur pair Dharaa-ee. ||28||
All day and night, I gaze upon my Guru; I install the Guru's Feet in my eyes. ||28||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Day and night, I want to keep the teaching right in front of me — always in view, never out of mind.

I hold it so close that it colors the very way I see the world. Wherever I look, I want it looking back.

Keep what you love always in sight, and it colors everything you see.
The deeper layer

sabh dinas rain daykh-a-u gur apunaa, vich akhee gur pair dharaa-ee — day and night I gaze on the teaching and keep it enshrined in my very sight. Devotion as a constant lens on the world.

A Question to Sit With

What's something good you'd like to keep in view all the time?
