ਮਹਾ ਅਨੰਦ ਅਚਿੰਤ ਸਹਜਾਇਆ ॥
mahaa anand achint sehjaa-i-aa.
Now, I am totally blissful, carefree and at ease.
ਦੁਸਮਨ ਦੂਤ ਮੁਏ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
dusman doot mu-ay sukh paa-i-aa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The enemies and evil-doers have perished, and I have obtained peace. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Now I am completely at peace, carefree and easy.
The troubles have fallen away, and I have found rest.
Peace often comes not when the problem is solved, but when you stop gripping it.
The Pause gives the immediate fruit of that surrender: "totally blissful, carefree and at ease." The peace is not the result of the problem being solved by scheming; it is the result of handing it over. Rest comes the moment the gripping stops.
A Question to Sit With
