ਇਕਿ ਪੰਚਾ ਮਾਰਿ ਸਬਦਿ ਹੈ ਲਾਗੇ ॥
ik panchaa maar sabad hai laagay.
Some conquer the five demons, by being attached to the Shabad.
ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਆਇ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਵਡਭਾਗੇ ॥
satgur aa-ay mili-aa vadbhaagay.
They are blessed and very fortunate; the True Guru comes to meet them.
ਅੰਤਰਿ ਸਾਚੁ ਰਵਹਿ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਾਤੇ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਮਾਵੈ ਸੋਈ ਹੇ ॥੧੨॥
antar saach raveh rang raatay sahj samaavai so-ee hay. ||12||
Within the nucleus of their inner being, they dwell upon the Truth; attuned to the Lord's Love, they intuitively merge in Him. ||12||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Some, holding tight to the living Word, master those five restless pulls inside.
How blessed and lucky they are; the Guru comes to meet them.
Deep within they rest in what is true, and, with a natural ease, they melt into the One.
The bravest victory is winning the quiet battle inside yourself.
Here is the battle of Maaroo, turned inward: the quiet mastering of one's own impulses. The victory comes with ease (sahj), through the Word.
