Salok Bhagat Kabir, Salok 206 — the one who remembers the One does not waver

ਕਬੀਰ ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਸਿਮਰਨੁ ਜੋ ਕਰੈ ਸੋ ਸੁਖੀਆ ਸੰਸਾਰਿ ॥
kabeer har kaa simran jo karai so sukhee-aa sansaar.
Kabir, whoever meditates in remembrance on the Lord, he alone is happy in this world.
ਇਤ ਉਤ ਕਤਹਿ ਨ ਡੋਲਈ ਜਿਸ ਰਾਖੈ ਸਿਰਜਨਹਾਰ ॥੨੦੬॥
it ut kateh na dol-ee jis raakhai sirjanhaar. ||206||
One who is protected and saved by the Creator Lord, shall never waver, here or hereafter. ||206||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Kabir says: whoever remembers the One is happy in this world.

The one the Creator protects never wavers, here or in the world beyond.

Held by the Creator, you do not waver.
The deeper layer

Remembering the One brings happiness and a steadiness nothing can shake.

Har kaa simran jo karai: whoever remembers the One so sukhee-aa sansaar, is happy in the world. It ut kateh na dol-ee: here or there, they never shake. Jis raakhai sirjanhaar: the Creator keeps them safe.

A Question to Sit With

What keeps you steady when things around you keep changing?
