ਸੂਖ ਸਹਜ ਆਨੰਦ ਘਣਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਜਨ ਧੂਰਾ ॥
sookh sahj aanand ghanaa naanak jan Dhooraa.
Peace, poise, and immense bliss, O Nanak, are obtained, when one becomes the dust of the feet of the humble servants of the Lord.
ਕਾਰਜ ਸਗਲੇ ਸਿਧਿ ਭਏ ਭੇਟਿਆ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰਾ ॥੪॥੧੦॥੧੧੨॥
kaaraj saglay siDh bha-ay bhayti-aa gur pooraa. ||4||10||112||
All of one's affairs are perfectly resolved, meeting with the Perfect Guru. ||4||10||112||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Peace, poise, and immense bliss come, O Nanak, when one becomes the dust of the feet of His humble servants.
All one's affairs are perfectly resolved, meeting the perfect Guru.
Lower yourself to the dust of good company, and your affairs quietly resolve.
The close: "peace, poise, and immense bliss" come from humility — "becoming the dust of the feet of the humble servants." And "all of one's affairs are perfectly resolved" by meeting the Guru. Lowering oneself to dust and meeting the Guru together settle everything (cf. Shabad 116).
A Question to Sit With
Have you found that humility, not striving, sometimes settles things?
