Sikhism·Raag Aasaa·Shabad 123
Verse 3 of 3

The Peace of the Name Is Medicine for Everyone

ਜੀਅ ਜੰਤ ਸਗਲ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥
jee-a jant sagal sukh paa-i-aa.
All beings and creatures obtain peace,
ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਮਨਿ ਧਿਆਇਆ ॥੨॥੩੨॥
paarbarahm naanak man Dhi-aa-i-aa. ||2||32||
O Nanak, meditating on the Supreme Lord God. ||2||32||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Every being finds peace, says Nanak,

by holding the Supreme One in mind.

The peace of the Name is medicine offered to every being, not a chosen few.
The deeper layer

The cure is universal: "all beings and creatures obtain peace" by meditating on the One. The medicine of the Name is not for a chosen few but available to every being — the peace it brings is offered to all.

A Question to Sit With

What is something good that is genuinely available to everyone?
