Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:
ਸੂਖ ਸਹਜ ਆਨਦੁ ਘਣਾ ਹਰਿ ਕੀਰਤਨੁ ਗਾਉ ॥
sookh sahj aanad ghanaa har keertan gaa-o.
Peace, celestial poise and absolute bliss are obtained, singing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises.
ਗਰਹ ਨਿਵਾਰੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਦੇ ਅਪਣਾ ਨਾਉ ॥੧॥
garah nivaaray satguroo day apnaa naa-o. ||1||
Bestowing His Name, the True Guru removes the evil omens. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Peace, celestial poise, and absolute bliss come from singing the One's praises.
Bestowing His Name, the true Guru removes the evil omens.
The Name frees you from living under the rule of lucky and unlucky signs.
Singing praise yields "peace, celestial poise and absolute bliss" — and the Name "removes the evil omens." The Name dissolves superstition: the soul anchored in the One no longer lives under the rule of lucky and unlucky signs (cf. Baarah Maaha, grace not the calendar).
A Question to Sit With
What superstitions or omens do people let run their lives?
