Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
This body is a village where joy and sorrow both live.
Those who take shelter with the Guru are saved.
The one who turns to the Guru stays free of the three moods that pull us up and down, and is honored.
Harakh sog kaa nagar ih kee-aa — the body is made a village where joy and sorrow both dwell. Those who take shelter with the Guru are carried across. The one who stays niraaraa (untouched) by the trihaa gunaa — the three qualities or moods that pull the mind up and down — finds a deep steadiness. This is close to sahaj: not numbness, but a calm rooted in something that swings do not reach.
What helps you stay steady when a hard feeling and a happy one arrive close together?
