ਜਹ ਉਹੁ ਜਾਇ ਤਹੀ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਵੈ ਮਾਇਆ ਤਾਸੁ ਨ ਝੋਲੈ ਦੇਵ ॥
jah uho jaa-ay tahee sukh paavai maa-i-aa taas na jholai dayv.
Then wherever he goes, he will find peace, and Maya will not shake him.
ਕਹਿ ਕਬੀਰ ਮੇਰਾ ਮਨੁ ਮਾਨਿਆ ਰਾਮ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਕੀਓ ਲੈ ਦੇਵ ॥੨॥੧੨॥
kahi kabeer mayraa man maani-aa raam pareet kee-o lai dayv. ||2||12||
Says Kabir, my mind believes in the Lord; I am absorbed in the Love of the Divine Lord. ||2||12||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Someone like that carries peace with them — wherever they go, they find it, and the world's ups and downs cannot knock them over.
Kabir says, my mind has come to rest in the One; I am soaked in the love of the One, and that is enough.
When peace lives inside you, you carry it wherever you go.
jah uho jaa-ay tahee sukh paavai — peace travels with the aligned soul. maa-i-aa taas na jholai — Maya cannot shake them. mayraa man maani-aa — the mind maanai, comes into alignment (not "believes"). The fruit of the whole shabad: portable, unshakeable peace.
