Nanak naam chardi kalaa;
tayray bhane sarbat da bhalaa!
these words invoke four principles that will stand us well in today's flat, interconnected world:
naam: get in touch with the universal divine spirit in all of us.
chardi kalaa: an attitude of hope and optimism, and a can-do spirit, free from anger or hatred.
tere bhaane: live in harmony with the divine order, with nature and with each other.
sarbat da bhalaa: pray for, and work towards, the common good of all!
