Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Facing the Guru with love, you find the home of natural ease.
Without meeting the Guru, you keep wandering, coming and going, never settled.
The home of calm you are looking for is already inside you.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Gurmukh bhagat sahj ghar paa-ee-ai: through loving devotion, you find the sahj ghar, the home of natural ease. A gurmukh is someone whose face is turned toward the Guru's teaching.
This home is not something you build. You find it, like a key that was in your pocket all along. You find it by turning toward the teaching. Without meeting a living guide, the mind keeps going around in circles, like someone lost, driving round and round the same block.
When do you feel most at home inside yourself?
