Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Following the Guru's teaching, I settled into a deep, natural ease — my whole self coloured through with love, like a cloth dipped in bright dye.
By great luck I came face to face with the One I love, and this bond does not wobble or waver.
Some love is so steady that it never wobbles.
Sahj samaa-i-o gureh bataa-i-o means as the Guru showed me, I settled into sahaj, a deep and natural ease. Rang rangee mayray tan kee cholee means the cholee, the garment of my body, is dyed in love's color. Think of a white T-shirt dipped in bright dye. Every thread takes on the color.
Gurbani often pictures the soul as a bride and the One as her Beloved. Pari-a mukh laago ja-o vadbhaago means by great good fortune, I came face to face with my Beloved. Suhaag hamaaro katahu na dolee means our bond never wavers. Suhaag is the bond of a happy marriage. Here it means steady belonging, like knowing your family will always be there.
What makes you feel completely at ease?
