The Fruit Of Peace

ਜਿਨ ਕੈ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਤੂ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਤੇ ਸੁਖ ਫਲ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਤੇ ਤਰੇ ਭਵ ਸਿੰਧੁ ਤੇ ਭਗਤ ਹਰਿ ਜਾਨ ॥
jin kai hirdai too su-aamee tay sukh fal paavahi tay taray bhav sinDh tay bhagat har jaan.
They alone obtain the fruit of peace, within whose hearts You, O my Lord and Master, abide. They cross over the terrifying world-ocean - they are known as the Lord's devotees.
ਤਿਨ ਸੇਵਾ ਹਮ ਲਾਇ ਹਰੇ ਹਮ ਲਾਇ ਹਰੇ ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਕੇ ਹਰਿ ਤੂ ਤੂ ਤੂ ਤੂ ਤੂ ਭਗਵਾਨ ॥੨॥੬॥੧੨॥
tin sayvaa ham laa-ay haray ham laa-ay haray jan naanak kay har too too too too too bhagvaan. ||2||6||12||
Please enjoin me to their service, Lord, please enjoin me to their service. O Lord God, You, You, You, You, You are the Lord of servant Nanak. ||2||6||12||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Those who carry You in their hearts, my Master, receive the fruit of peace. They cross the frightening ocean of the world. They are known as the One's devotees.

Let me serve them, O One — let me serve them. Nanak says: You, You, You, You, You are my Lord.

Peace is a fruit that ripens in a heart that carries love.
The deeper layer

Peace ripens like fruit in a heart that holds the One.

Sukh fal is the fruit of peace. Bhav sinDh is the ocean of the world, wide and rough, and those who hold the One cross it safely. Tin sayvaa ham laa-ay: let me serve them. The wish comes twice, with glad eagerness. The closing too too too too too, You, You, You, is love overflowing, the way you might call a friend's name again and again when you finally see them.

A Question to Sit With

What is a good thing that grew slowly in you over time, like fruit ripening?
