Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Peace, calm and joy come in plenty.
The Guru is perfect, and so is the Guru's Word. The Guru's good qualities are too many to count.
The Guru's Word brings deep peace and joy, and its goodness cannot be counted.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line. It is the hinge the whole shabad swings on.
Sookh sahj aanand ghanay means peace, ease, and joy in plenty. Sookh means peace. Aanand means deep joy. Sahaj means a natural, easy calm. It is the feeling of a heart that has stopped fighting itself.
Gur pooraa pooree jaa kee banee means the Guru is complete, and so is the Guru's banee, the Word. Anik gunaa jaa kay jaahi na ganay means the Guru's good qualities are so many they cannot be counted.
Think of floating on your back in a calm lake. You stop kicking and splashing, and the water just holds you. That is sahaj.
When was a moment you felt calm and full at the same time, with nothing missing?
