Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Life can feel like it keeps circling round and round, on and on, through countless shapes and forms. But those who belong to the Oneness step out of the endless circling. They come to rest — no longer spun by the wheel of coming and going.
Life can feel like going round and round, but the One's people get to step off and rest.
Lakh cha-oraaseeh jon fireh — people wander through 8.4 million jon, or life-forms. This is an old Indian idea. The soul goes round and round through birth and death. That wheel is called samsara.
Gobind lok nahee janam mareh — the people of Gobind, the One, are not caught in birth and death. They step off the wheel of restless becoming.
For a child, it can be a simple picture. Think of a spinning ride at the fair that never stops. At last it slows, and you step onto solid ground. That is the difference between being spun around forever and coming to rest in what is real.
What does it feel like to finally stop spinning and just rest?
