Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:
ਪ੍ਰਥਮੇ ਮਿਟਿਆ ਤਨ ਕਾ ਦੂਖ ॥
parathmay miti-aa tan kaa dookh.
First, the pains of the body vanish;
ਮਨ ਸਗਲ ਕਉ ਹੋਆ ਸੂਖੁ ॥
man sagal ka-o ho-aa sookh.
then, the mind becomes totally peaceful.
ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਗੁਰ ਦੀਨੋ ਨਾਉ ॥
kar kirpaa gur deeno naa-o.
In His Mercy, the Guru bestows the Lord's Name.
ਬਲਿ ਬਲਿ ਤਿਸੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕਉ ਜਾਉ ॥੧॥
bal bal tis satgur ka-o jaa-o. ||1||
I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to that True Guru. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
First the pains of the body vanish; then the mind becomes completely at peace.
In His mercy, the Guru gives the Name.
I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to that true Guru.
Healing the Name brings reaches the body first, then settles deep into the mind.
This one says the Name heals in order, body first, then mind.
First the pains of the body go away. Then the mind becomes fully at peace. It comes from the Guru's mercy, for the Guru gives the Name. The Name heals from the outside in.
Think of getting over a fever. First the body stops aching. Then your mind can rest too.
And then thanks pour out. bal bal — I give myself, again and again, to that true Guru.
A Question to Sit With
What kind of peace settles in once a long pain finally lifts?
