✨ Daily Hukamnama Reflection – SGGS Ang 473 ✨
ਨਾਨਕ ਫਿਕੈ ਬੋਲਿਐ ਤਨੁ ਮਨੁ ਫਿਕਾ ਹੋਇ ॥
नानक फिकै बोलिऐ तनु मनु फिका होइ ॥
Nānak fikai boliai ṯan man fikā hoe.
🌿 Meaning (English):
O Nanak, when we speak harsh, unpleasant, or hurtful words, their bitterness affects not only others but also our own body and mind.
🌿 ਅਰਥ (Punjabi - Gurmukhi):
ਹੇ ਨਾਨਕ! ਰੁੱਖੇ, ਕੌੜੇ ਅਤੇ ਦੁਖਦਾਈ ਬਚਨ ਬੋਲਣ ਨਾਲ ਕੇਵਲ ਦੂਜਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਹੀ ਦੁੱਖ ਨਹੀਂ ਪਹੁੰਚਦਾ, ਸਗੋਂ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਦਾ ਆਪਣਾ ਮਨ ਅਤੇ ਸੁਭਾਉ ਵੀ ਕੌੜਾ ਹੋ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।
🌿 अर्थ (Hindi):
हे नानक! कठोर, कड़वे और दुख पहुँचाने वाले शब्द बोलने से केवल दूसरों को ही पीड़ा नहीं होती, बल्कि बोलने वाले का अपना मन और स्वभाव भी प्रभावित होता है।
💫 Reflection:
Guru Sahib reminds us that our words carry energy. A harsh sentence may take only seconds to speak, yet its effect can remain in someone's heart for years. At the same time, repeated anger, criticism, and negativity gradually disturb our own inner peace.
Gurbani therefore encourages us to bring awareness to our speech. Speaking sweetly does not mean hiding the truth; truth can still be expressed with patience, dignity, and compassion.
Before speaking in anger, we can pause and ask: Will my words heal or hurt? Will they create peace or deepen conflict? When Naam and humility live within us, kindness naturally begins to appear in our speech.
🌼 Message for Today:
Choose your words carefully. Speak truth with kindness, because peaceful words protect both the listener's heart and your own.
