ਕਾਮੁ ਕ੍ਰੋਧੁ ਲੋਭੁ ਮੋਹੁ ਨਿਵਾਰੇ ਨਿਵਰੇ ਸਗਲ ਬੈਰਾਈ ॥
kaam kroDh lobh moh nivaaray nivray sagal bairaa-ee.
Sexual desire, anger, greed and emotional attachment are eradicated; all my enemies are eliminated.
ਸਦ ਹਜੂਰਿ ਹਾਜਰੁ ਹੈ ਨਾਜਰੁ ਕਤਹਿ ਨ ਭਇਓ ਦੂਰਾਈ ॥੨॥
sad hajoor haajar hai naajar kateh na bha-i-o dooraa-ee. ||2||
He is always ever-present, here and now, watching over me; He is never far away. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Wanting-more, quick anger, grabbing, and clinging - all these inner tugs grow quiet, and the little wars inside settle down.
And the One is always right here, watching over me, never far away at all.
The only enemies worth defeating are the tugs inside - and they can settle.
The inner pulls (kaam, krodh, lobh, moh) settle and the "enemies" are stilled - the inner battle. The One is ever-present (sad hajoor), never far.
A Question to Sit With
Which inner tug do you most want to settle down?
