Gauree, Fifth Mehl:
ਕਲਿ ਕਲੇਸ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦਿ ਨਿਵਾਰੇ ॥
kal kalays gur sabad nivaaray.
The Word of the Guru's Shabad quiets worries and troubles.
ਆਵਣ ਜਾਣ ਰਹੇ ਸੁਖ ਸਾਰੇ ॥੧॥
aavan jaan rahay sukh saaray. ||1||
Coming and going ceases, and all comforts are obtained. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The teacher's word quiets the fights and worries inside you. The exhausting back-and-forth settles down, and a deep comfort arrives -- all the good things at once.
A wise word can quiet the fights and worries churning inside you.
Kal kalays gur sabad nivaaray -- the teacher's sabad (Word) dispels strife and worry. Aavan jaan rahay sukh saaray -- coming-and-going ceases, all comforts come. Kal kalays is inner conflict and turmoil; aavan jaan (coming and going) we render as the exhausting back-and-forth that settles. The Word is presented as a quieting force.
A Question to Sit With
What words -- from a person or a song -- have quieted a storm inside you?
