Light Melting Into Light

ਸਰਣਿ ਪਰੇ ਚਰਣਾਰਬਿੰਦ ਜਨ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੇ ਪ੍ਰਾਨ ॥
saran paray charnaarbind jan parabh kay paraan.
God's humble servants seek the Sanctuary of His Lotus Feet; they are God's very breath of life.
ਸਹਜਿ ਸੁਭਾਇ ਨਾਨਕ ਮਿਲੇ ਜੋਤੀ ਜੋਤਿ ਸਮਾਨ ॥੨॥੨॥੬੬॥
sahj subhaa-ay naanak milay jotee jot samaan. ||2||2||66||
O Nanak, they automatically, intuitively meet God; their light merges into the Light. ||2||2||66||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Those who rest at the One's feet are as dear to the One as breath itself.

Nanak says: with no forcing, easy as anything, they meet — like a small light slipping into a great light and becoming one glow.

Coming home to the One is easy as light joining light.
The deeper layer

saran paray charnaarbind, jan prabh kay paraan — the humble are as dear as breath; sahj subhaa-ay... jotee jot samaan — effortlessly they meet, light merging into Light.

A Question to Sit With

Where do you feel you belong so completely there is no effort in it?
