O my mind, be imbued forever with the Lord's Love, and sing forever the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

har nirmal sadaa sukh-daata man chindi-aa fal paa-o. ||3||
The Immaculate Lord is forever the Giver of peace; from Him, one receives the fruits of his heart's desires. ||3||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Keep your heart warm with love and keep singing about what's good.

The endless kindness gives peace, and fills the heart's deepest wishes.

Keep your heart warm with love and keep singing about the good — peace follows.
The deeper layer

"Be imbued forever with the Lord's Love, and sing forever the Praises... the Giver of peace fulfills the heart's desires." A simple, warm instruction: stay soaked in love and keep singing; peace and fulfillment follow. The Giver is nirmal — immaculate, pure — and gives freely.

A Question to Sit With

What good thing could you 'keep singing about' to keep your heart warm?
