ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਤੂ ਜਾਣਾਇਹਿ ਸੋਈ ਜਨੁ ਜਾਣੈ ॥
jis no too jaanaa-ihi so-ee jan jaanai.
That humble being, whom You inspire to understand, understands;
ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਸਦ ਹੀ ਆਖਿ ਵਖਾਣੈ ॥
har gun sad hee aakh vakhaanai.
he continually speaks and chants the Glorious Praises of the Lord.
ਜਿਨਿ ਹਰਿ ਸੇਵਿਆ ਤਿਨਿ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥
jin har sayvi-aa tin sukh paa-i-aa.
One who serves the Lord, obtains peace.
ਸਹਜੇ ਹੀ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਸਮਾਇਆ ॥੩॥
sehjay hee har naam samaa-i-aa. ||3||
He is easily absorbed in the Lord's Name. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The humble one You awaken to understanding, understands;
such a one keeps speaking and singing the One's praises.
Whoever serves the One finds peace, and slips easily into the Name.
Once you're truly awakened to it, praise and peace come easily, on their own.
Understanding is awakened by the One ("whom You inspire to understand"), and it overflows naturally into praise. Service brings peace, and the soul is "easily absorbed" — sahaj, the effortless settling into the Name once the heart is turned. Nothing here is forced; it flows from being awakened.
A Question to Sit With
What good thing flows out of you naturally when you feel deeply grateful?
