Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:
ਜਹਾ ਪਠਾਵਹੁ ਤਹ ਤਹ ਜਾਈ ॥
jahaa pathaavhu tah tah jaa-eeN.
Wherever You send me, there I go.
ਜੋ ਤੁਮ ਦੇਹੁ ਸੋਈ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਈ ॥੧॥
jo tum dayh so-ee sukh paa-eeN. ||1||
Whatever You give me, brings me peace. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Wherever You send me, there I go.
Whatever You give me brings me peace.
"Wherever You send me, I go; whatever You give, brings me peace" — that is the whole secret of a peaceful life.
Total surrender in two lines: "wherever You send me, there I go. Whatever You give me, brings me peace." The soul has stopped negotiating with life — it goes where it is sent and is content with what it is given. This is the peace of complete trust (cf. Shabad 111).
A Question to Sit With
What would it feel like to be content with exactly what you're given?
