Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
They are never sad; they are always happy. And yet they let it all go, and take nothing for themselves.
Nanak says: the humble servant of the One is himself the One, Har, Har, Har. He no longer comes and goes from birth to birth.
Someone at one with the One is always glad, holds on to nothing, and is home for good.
Sog naahee sadaa harkhee hai: no sorrow, always joyful. Chhod naahee kichh laytai: letting go, taking nothing. Jan har har har hai: the servant has become one with the One. Kat aavai kat ramtai: where would he come and go? The round of being born again and again is over. Like a river that has reached the sea, there is nowhere left to go.
What does it feel like to be somewhere you belong so fully you do not want to grab at anything?
