ਮਃ ੫ ॥
mehlaa 5.
Fifth Mehl:
ਤੈਡੈ ਸਿਮਰਣਿ ਹਭੁ ਕਿਛੁ ਲਧਮੁ ਬਿਖਮੁ ਨ ਡਿਠਮੁ ਕੋਈ ॥
taidai simran habh kichh laDham bikham na ditham ko-ee.
By Your meditative remembrance, I have found everything; nothing seems difficult to me.
ਜਿਸੁ ਪਤਿ ਰਖੈ ਸਚਾ ਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਮੇਟਿ ਨ ਸਕੈ ਕੋਈ ॥੨॥
jis pat rakhai sachaa saahib naanak mayt na sakai ko-ee. ||2||
One whose honor the True Lord Master has preserved - O Nanak, no one can dishonor him. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
By remembering You I've found everything; nothing feels hard to me now.
The one whose honor the True One keeps, Nanak says, no one can shame.
When the deepest thing is secure, the ordinary difficulties shrink — a settled heart meets hard things with ease.
A short Shalok of confidence: "nothing seems difficult to me" flows from remembrance. When the deepest thing is secure, the ordinary difficulties shrink; a settled heart meets hard things with ease. And honor kept by the One is "un-shame-able" — once your dignity rests where no one can reach it, no one can take it. Security at the center makes everything else lighter.
A Question to Sit With
What normally-hard things might feel lighter if your center were truly secure?
