Maaroo, Fourth Mehl:
ਸਿਧ ਸਮਾਧਿ ਜਪਿਓ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਈ ਸਾਧਿਕ ਮੁਨਿ ਜਪਿਆ ॥
siDh samaaDh japi-o liv laa-ee saaDhik mun japi-aa.
The Siddhas in Samaadhi meditate on Him; they are lovingly focused on Him. The seekers and the silent sages meditate on Him as well.
ਜਤੀ ਸਤੀ ਸੰਤੋਖੀ ਧਿਆਇਆ ਮੁਖਿ ਇੰਦ੍ਰਾਦਿਕ ਰਵਿਆ ॥
jatee satee santokhee Dhi-aa-i-aa mukh indraadik ravi-aa.
The celibates, the true and contented beings meditate on Him; Indra and the other gods chant His Name with their mouths.
ਸਰਣਿ ਪਰੇ ਜਪਿਓ ਤੇ ਭਾਏ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਪਾਰਿ ਪਇਆ ॥੧॥
saran paray japi-o tay bhaa-ay gurmukh paar pa-i-aa. ||1||
Those who seek His Sanctuary meditate on Him; they become Gurmukh and swim across. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The deep meditators, the quiet seekers and sages, hold the One in their hearts.
The gentle and the content turn toward Him, and even the shining ones of old sing His Name. Those who take shelter and remember cross over.
From the quietest sage to the busiest heart, all turn toward the same One.
A sweep from Sidhs in deep stillness to sages and even Indra shows that everyone, from every path, turns toward the One. The one who faces the teaching crosses.
A Question to Sit With
When do you feel most quiet and awake inside?
