ਸਭ ਤਜਿ ਅਨਾਥੁ ਏਕ ਸਰਣਿ ਆਇਓ ॥
sabh taj anaath ayk saran aa-i-o.
I have renounced all - I am an orphan. I have come to the Sanctuary of the One Lord.
ਊਚ ਅਸਥਾਨੁ ਤਬ ਸਹਜੇ ਪਾਇਓ ॥੩॥
ooch asthaan tab sehjay paa-i-o. ||3||
Since then, I have found the highest celestial home. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I let go of leaning on everything else and came, empty-handed, to shelter in the One. And right there, without any strain, I found the highest, most peaceful home.
Coming empty-handed to shelter, the highest peace is found with no strain at all.
Sabh taj anaath ayk saran aa-i-o -- renouncing all, I came to the One's shelter. The original anaath (orphan) we render as coming empty-handed -- turning self-abasement into openness toward grace (guidelines). Ooch asthaan tab sehjay paa-i-o -- I found the highest home naturally, in sahaj (effortless ease). Letting go of props is what let the ease arrive.

What might you feel if you stopped leaning on everything you usually rely on, and just rested?
