ਆਵਣੁ ਜਾਣਾ ਰਖੈ ਨ ਕੋਈ ॥
aavan jaanaa rakhai na ko-ee.
No one can save them from coming and going.
ਜੰਮਣੁ ਮਰਣੁ ਤਿਸੈ ਤੇ ਹੋਈ ॥
jaman maran tisai tay ho-ee.
Birth and death come from Him.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਾਚਾ ਸਦਾ ਧਿਆਵਹੁ ਗਤਿ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਤਿਸੈ ਤੇ ਪਾਹਾ ਹੇ ॥੪॥
gurmukh saachaa sadaa Dhi-aavahu gat mukat tisai tay paahaa hay. ||4||
The Gurmukh meditates forever on the True Lord. Emancipation and liberation are obtained from Him. ||4||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Beginnings and endings are woven into every life, and no one steps outside that flow.
Yet the heart that stays close to the One rests easy inside it, held by the very One from whom all of it comes.
Beginnings and endings belong to the One who holds you through them.
Birth and death are framed as the natural flow, held by the divine. Freedom here is resting in the One, not escaping fear.
