ਹਉਮੈ ਮਾਰੇ ਸਬਦਿ ਨਿਵਾਰੇ ॥
ha-umai maaray sabad nivaaray.
Egotism is conquered and subdued by the Shabad.
ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਖੈ ਉਰਿ ਧਾਰੇ ॥
har kaa naam rakhai ur Dhaaray.
I have enshrined the Name of the Lord within my heart.
ਏਕਸੁ ਬਿਨੁ ਹਉ ਹੋਰੁ ਨ ਜਾਣਾ ਸਹਜੇ ਹੋਇ ਸੁ ਹੋਈ ਹੇ ॥੧੪॥
aykas bin ha-o hor na jaanaa sehjay ho-ay so ho-ee hay. ||14||
Other than the One Lord, I know nothing at all. Whatever will be, will automatically be. ||14||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The living Word quiets the proud me.
I have made a home for the Name inside my heart.
Beyond the One I know nothing else, and whatever comes, it will unfold as it will, and that is enough.
Rest in the One, and whatever comes, it will be well.
With ha-umai quieted and the Name enshrined, the heart rests in acceptance (sehjay ho-ay so ho-ee). Whatever will be, will be, is not resignation but trust.
A Question to Sit With
When has trusting that things would work out helped you feel calmer?
