ਸੁਖਦਾਤਾ ਹਰਿ ਏਕੁ ਹੈ ਹੋਰ ਥੈ ਸੁਖੁ ਨ ਪਾਹਿ ॥
sukh-daata har ayk hai hor thai sukh na paahi.
The One Lord is the Giver of peace; peace is not found anywhere else.
ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਜਿਨੀ ਨ ਸੇਵਿਆ ਦਾਤਾ ਸੇ ਅੰਤਿ ਗਏ ਪਛੁਤਾਹਿ ॥੩॥
satgur jinee na sayvi-aa daataa say ant ga-ay pachhutaahi. ||3||
Those who do not serve the Giver, the True Guru, depart regretfully in the end. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One alone gives peace. Peace is found nowhere else.
Those who do not serve the True Guru, the Giver, leave at the end full of regret.
True peace is the One’s gift, found nowhere else.
Peace is the One's gift, found in the One alone.
Sukh-daata har ayk hai: the One is the only Giver of sukh, peace. Hor thai sukh na paahi: look anywhere else and peace does not come. Ant ga-ay pachhutaahi: those who never served the True Guru leave at the end with regret, like someone who searched every room except the one where the key was.
A Question to Sit With
Where do you sometimes look for peace that does not quite work?
