A Peace That Doesn't Depend on Getting Your Way

ਅਬ ਮੋਹਿ ਸਰਬ ਕੁਸਲ ਕਰਿ ਮਾਨਿਆ ॥
ab mohi sarab kusal kar maani-aa.
Now, I feel that everything brings me peace.
ਸਾਂਤਿ ਭਈ ਜਬ ਗੋਬਿਦੁ ਜਾਨਿਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
saaNt bha-ee jab gobid jaani-aa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Peace and tranquility have come, since I realized the Lord of the Universe. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Now everything feels well with me. A deep peace arrived the moment I truly knew the One who holds the whole world.

A peace that does not depend on things going your way comes from knowing the One.
The deeper layer

The Rahao names the shabad's center: saant bhaee jab gobid jaaniaa — peace came when the One was truly known. Not a peace that depends on things going well, but the sahaj poise that comes from being rooted in what cannot be shaken.

A Question to Sit With

What is a calm that stays with you even when things around you get hard?
