ਸੁਭਾਇ ਅਭਾਇ ਜੁ ਨਿਕਟਿ ਆਵੈ ਸੀਤੁ ਤਾ ਕਾ ਜਾਇ ॥
subhaa-ay abhaa-ay jo nikat aavai seet taa kaa jaa-ay.
Good or bad, whoever comes close to the fire - his cold is taken away.
ਆਪ ਪਰ ਕਾ ਕਛੁ ਨ ਜਾਣੈ ਸਦਾ ਸਹਜਿ ਸੁਭਾਇ ॥੭॥
aap par kaa kachh na jaanai sadaa sahj subhaa-ay. ||7||
It knows nothing of its own or others'; it is constant in the same quality. ||7||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Good or not-so-good, whoever comes close to the fire, their cold is taken away.
The fire knows nothing of mine and yours; it stays warm the same for all.
Draw near to warmth, and the cold simply leaves.
The last of the natural images. Fire warms by nature, not by choosing. Whoever draws near is warmed, a picture of a heart whose warmth is steady and free.
A Question to Sit With
What warms you when you feel cold inside?
