Salok Sehskritee, Salok 32 — Words That Cannot Move You
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Being looked down on does not trouble them, and being shamed does not trouble them.
Losing their good name does not trouble them, and the sorrows of the world do not touch them.
Nanak says: those who join the Sangat and repeat the Naam of the Lord of the World live in peace.
Those who remember the One in the Sangat keep a peace that put-downs and gossip cannot reach.
Tiraskaar nah bhavant: being looked down on does not bother them. Nah bhavant maan bhangnah: being shamed does not bother them. Sobhaa heen: losing their good name does not bother them. Nah pohant sansaar dukhnah: the world's sorrows do not get hold of them.
Gobind naam japant mil saaDh sangah: they join the Sangat and repeat the Naam. Sukh baasnah: they live in peace. The words of others still reach them, and cannot move them off their ground.
When someone says something unkind, what helps you feel steady instead of shaken?
