ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵਿ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਜਾਤਾ ॥
satgur sayv sadaa sukh jaataa.
Serving the True Guru, lasting peace is experienced.
ਆਪੇ ਆਇ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਸਭਨਾ ਕਾ ਦਾਤਾ ॥
aapay aa-ay mili-aa sabhnaa kaa daataa.
He Himself, the Giver of all, has come and met me.
ਹਉਮੈ ਮਾਰਿ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਅਗਨਿ ਨਿਵਾਰੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਚੀਨਿ ਸੁਖੁ ਹੋਈ ਹੇ ॥੭॥
ha-umai maar tarisnaa agan nivaaree sabad cheen sukh ho-ee hay. ||7||
Subduing egotism, the fire of thirst has been extinguished; contemplating the Word of the Shabad, peace is found. ||7||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Serve the Guru, and a lasting peace settles in.
The Giver of everything has come and met me.
As the proud me quiets, the burning thirst cools, and resting in the Word, I am at peace.
When pride quiets, the endless thirst finally cools.
As ha-umai quiets, tarisnaa agan (the fire of thirst) cools. Peace is found not by getting more but by the wanting itself settling down.
A Question to Sit With
What is something that leaves you satisfied, not just wanting more?
