Verse 2 of 6

A Little Kindness Leads to Steadying Wisdom

ਹਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਸਤਗੁਰੂ ਮਿਲਾਇਆ ॥
har kar kirpaa satguroo milaa-i-aa.
The Lord, showing His Mercy, has caused me to meet the True Guru.
ਪੂਰੈ ਸਤਗੁਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
poorai satgur har naam Dhi-aa-i-aa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Through the Perfect True Guru, I meditate on the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

By kindness, I was led to real wisdom — and through it, I keep the beautiful Name in mind.

A little kindness can lead you to the wisdom that steadies your whole heart.
The deeper layer

The rahao: mercy led to the Guru, and through the Guru comes remembrance. The simple hinge the shabad turns on.

A Question to Sit With

Who led you toward something wise, and how did they help?
