ਤਿਨ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਜੋ ਤੁਧੁ ਭਾਏ ॥
tin sukh paa-i-aa jo tuDh bhaa-ay.
They alone find peace, who are pleasing to Your Will.
ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਗੁਰ ਸੇਵਾ ਲਾਏ ॥
poorai bhaag gur sayvaa laa-ay.
By perfect destiny, they are attached to the Guru's service.
ਤੇਰੈ ਹਥਿ ਹੈ ਸਭ ਵਡਿਆਈ ਜਿਸੁ ਦੇਵਹਿ ਸੋ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੧॥
tayrai hath hai sabh vadi-aa-ee jis dayveh so paa-idaa. ||11||
All glorious greatness rests in Your Hands; he alone obtains it, unto whom You give it. ||11||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The ones at peace are the ones flowing along with the way of things. When the time is right, they find themselves drawn into the Guru's service.
Every bit of greatness rests in Your hands, and You give it freely to whom You will.
Peace comes from flowing with the way of things, not fighting it.
Peace belongs to those in harmony with the Will (tudh bhaa-ay). All vadiaaee (greatness) rests in the One's hands — a reminder that honor is given, not grabbed.
