ਦੁਖ ਸੁਖ ਕਰਤ ਜਨਮਿ ਫੁਨਿ ਮੂਆ ॥
dukh sukh karat janam fun moo-aa.
Experiencing pain and pleasure, one is born, only to die again.
ਚਰਨ ਕਮਲ ਗੁਰਿ ਆਸ੍ਰਮੁ ਦੀਆ ॥੩॥
charan kamal gur aasram dee-aa. ||3||
The Lotus Feet of the Guru bring peace and shelter. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Life keeps swinging — good days, hard days, round and round, coming and going — and it can leave you tired and restless.
But there is a place to set it all down: the shelter of the Guru. It gives your heart a home to rest in.
When the ups and downs leave you tired, the Guru gives your heart a shelter to rest in.
Life swings between pain and pleasure, coming and going, round and round, and that can wear you out. Charan kamal gur aasram dee-aa — the Guru's lotus feet give aasram, a resting-place, a shelter. After all the swinging, you arrive at rest.
A Question to Sit With
Where do you go to rest when life has been swinging you up and down?
