ਹੈ ਹਜੂਰਿ ਹਾਜਰੁ ਅਰਦਾਸਿ ॥
hai hajoor haajar ardaas.
He is the Presence Ever-present; offer your prayers to Him.
ਦੁਖੁ ਸੁਖੁ ਸਾਚੁ ਕਰਤੇ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਪਾਸਿ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
dukh sukh saach kartay parabh paas. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Pain and pleasure are in the Hands of God, the True Creator. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is here, present, right now — so bring your prayer to it.
Both pain and pleasure rest in the hands of the True Creator.
The One is present right now — and both your hard days and your good days rest in the same hands.
The Pause names the One as "the Presence Ever-present" — not distant, addressable now. And it places both pain and pleasure in the same loving hands, defusing the panic of bad fortune and the pride of good fortune alike. This is the deep trust that runs through Raag Gauree's "sleep in peace, do not worry."
A Question to Sit With
How might your day feel different if you trusted that the hard parts were held too?
