ਜੋ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵਹਿ ਆਪਣਾ ਭਾਈ ਤਿਨ ਕੈ ਹਉ ਲਾਗਉ ਪਾਇ ॥
jo satgur sayveh aapnaa bhaa-ee tin kai ha-o laaga-o paa-ay.
I fall at the feet of those who serve their True Guru, O Siblings of Destiny.
ਜਨਮੁ ਸਵਾਰੀ ਆਪਣਾ ਭਾਈ ਕੁਲੁ ਭੀ ਲਈ ਬਖਸਾਇ ॥੭॥
janam savaaree aapnaa bhaa-ee kul bhee la-ee bakhsaa-ay. ||7||
I have fulfilled my life, O Siblings of Destiny, and my family has been saved as well. ||7||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I bow to the people who truly live the teaching, they inspire me just by being who they are.
Living this way, my own life feels complete, like it found its purpose.
And the good does not stop with me, it spills over and lifts the whole family along, like light filling a room.
One person living the teaching can lift a whole family along.
jo satgur sayveh apnaa... tin kai ha-o laago paa-ay — bowing to those who serve the Guru. janam savaaree apnaa... kul bhee la-ee bakhsaa-ay — one's life fulfilled and even one's family lifted. The overflow of one person's goodness onto their whole family, the 'goodness is contagious' theme again.
A Question to Sit With
How does one person's goodness spread to the people around them?
