Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Do good things, day by day. Let your mind be the thread, and string them on like beads.
Then you will hold a jewel so precious that no money could ever buy it.
Every good thing you do is like a bead. Put them together, and you get something priceless.
Karnee kaaman: let good deeds be your beauty. Jay man dhaagaa ho-ay: and let your mind be the thread. The soul-bride strings her good actions one by one, like beads on a necklace. A steady, remembering mind holds them all together.
Think of a friendship bracelet you make one bead at a time. One bead looks small. A whole string of them is something you treasure. Maanak mul na paa-ee-ai: that jewel cannot be bought for any price. Goodness gathered patiently becomes a treasure inside you that money could never buy.
What good 'bead' could you add to your thread today?
