ਖੋਇ ਖਹੜਾ ਭਰਮੁ ਮਨ ਕਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸਰਣੀ ਜਾਇ ॥
kho-ay khahrhaa bharam man kaa satgur sarnee jaa-ay.
Eradicate the stubbornness and doubt of your mind, and go to the Sanctuary of the True Guru.
ਕਰਮੁ ਜਿਸ ਕਉ ਧੁਰਹੁ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਸੋਈ ਕਾਰ ਕਮਾਇ ॥੨॥
karam jis ka-o Dharahu likhi-aa so-ee kaar kamaa-ay. ||2||
He alone does such deeds, who has such pre-ordained karma. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Loosen the stubbornness and the doubt tangled in your mind, and step into the shelter of the True Guru.
Each of us has our own work to do; when the moment is ripe, we find ourselves doing it.
Loosening stubbornness makes room for something better.
Karam here means the work each of us is given. The invitation is to loosen stubbornness and doubt and step into shelter, trusting that the right moment will bring the right doing.
A Question to Sit With
