Verse 1 of 5

Remembering the One Is Itself the Doorway to Peace

ਆਸਾ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥
aasaa mehlaa 5.
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:
ਜਾ ਕੈ ਸਿਮਰਨਿ ਸੂਖ ਨਿਵਾਸੁ ॥
jaa kai simran sookh nivaas.
Remembering Him in meditation, one abides in peace;
ਭਈ ਕਲਿਆਣ ਦੁਖ ਹੋਵਤ ਨਾਸੁ ॥੧॥
bha-ee kali-aan dukh hovat naas. ||1||
one becomes happy, and suffering is ended. ||1||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Remembering the One, you abide in peace;

you grow happy, and suffering ends.

Remembering the One is itself the doorway to peace.
The deeper layer

A simple statement of cause and effect: "remembering Him... one abides in peace... and suffering is ended." Remembrance is not one technique among many but the direct doorway to peace and the end of suffering.

A Question to Sit With

What simple thing, when you remember to do it, reliably steadies you?
