ਮਨੁ ਕਠੋਰੁ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਲਾਗਾ ॥
man kathor doojai bhaa-ay laagaa.
The stubborn and insensitive mind is attached to the love of duality.
ਭਰਮੇ ਭੂਲਾ ਫਿਰੈ ਅਭਾਗਾ ॥
bharmay bhoolaa firai abhaagaa.
Deluded by doubt, the unfortunate wander around in confusion.
ਕਰਮੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਤਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵੇ ਸਹਜੇ ਹੀ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੦॥
karam hovai taa satgur sayvay sehjay hee sukh paa-idaa. ||10||
But if they are blessed by God's Grace, they serve the True Guru, and easily obtain peace. ||10||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A mind that only digs in gets tangled in seeing everything as me-against-you.
Wandering in that confusion is hard, but a touch of grace turns the heart to serving the True Guru, and peace comes easily.
A touch of grace can turn a tangled heart toward easy peace.
Stubbornness breeds duality and doubt. The turn is grace-initiated, after which peace is effortless, sahaj. The unfortunate are met with compassion.
A Question to Sit With
What helps you stop seeing things as me-against-everyone?
