Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The bed in your home will feel cozy, and your courtyard calm and comfortable.
Break them, oh break them, break the ropes that tie you to the five thieves inside.
Home feels peaceful when you break free from the five troublemakers inside.
Garihi sayj suhaavee aagan chainaa: your home becomes cozy and your courtyard calm. Panch dootan si-o sang toro: break your ties with the panch doot, the five thieves. These are strong wanting, anger, greed, clinging, and pride.
Picture a boat tied to the dock by five ropes. It cannot sail anywhere until they are untied. When their grip loosens, inner peace arrives, and it spills over into the whole home.
What is one habit or feeling whose grip you'd like to gently loosen?
