The Source of All Peace

ਸਰਬ ਸੁਖਾ ਕਾ ਏਕੁ ਹਰਿ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਸੋ ਗੁਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਦਇਓ ॥
sarab sukhaa kaa ayk har su-aamee so gur naam da-i-o.
O mother, the One Lord, the Lord and Master, is the source of all peace. The Guru has blessed me with His Name.
ਸੰਤ ਪ੍ਰਹਲਾਦ ਕੀ ਪੈਜ ਜਿਨਿ ਰਾਖੀ ਹਰਨਾਖਸੁ ਨਖ ਬਿਦਰਿਓ ॥੩॥
sant parahlaad kee paij jin raakhee harnaakhas nakh bidri-o. ||3||
He preserved the honor of Prahlaad, and destroyed Harnaakhash with his nails. ||3||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

There is one Source of every good and peaceful thing, and the Guru placed the Naam in my hands. That is the treasure they cannot see.

The One has always stood by those who trust in it — steadfast for the humble, turning even great troubles around.

There is one Source of every peaceful thing.
The deeper layer

sarab sukhaa kaa ayk har su-aamee — the One as source of all peace. sant prahlaad kee paij... harnaakhas — the Puranic story of the child-devotee Prahlaad, protected from the tyrant Harnaakhash: the One stands by the humble and turns troubles around.

A Question to Sit With

Where do you go to find peace when things feel hard?
