ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗੇ ॥
gurmukh har har har liv laagay.
The Gurmukhs are lovingly attached to the Lord, Har, Har, Har.
ਜਨਮ ਮਰਣ ਦੋਊ ਦੁਖ ਭਾਗੇ ॥੩॥
janam maran do-oo dukh bhaagay. ||3||
Their pains of both birth and death are taken away. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who face the Guru stay lovingly tied to the One, Har, Har, Har.
The pain of both birth and death runs away from them.
Turning toward the Guru lifts the ache of coming and going.
When your love stays tied to the One, the ache of birth and death runs away.
A gurmukh is someone who faces the Guru. Har har har liv laagay means their love stays tied to the One, again and again.
Janam maran do-oo dukh bhaagay means the pains of both birth and death run away. It is comfort: the fear that shadows a life, gently soothed.
Think of a child afraid of the dark who falls asleep calm because a parent is sitting nearby. Love, again and again, is the cure.
A Question to Sit With
What fear gets lighter for you when you feel loved?
