ਸਾਚੀ ਨਗਰੀ ਤਖਤੁ ਸਚਾਵਾ ॥
saachee nagree takhat sachaavaa.
True is the village, and true is the throne,
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਾਚੁ ਮਿਲੈ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਵਾ ॥
gurmukh saach milai sukh paavaa.
of those Gurmukhs who meet with the True Lord, and find peace.
ਸਾਚੇ ਸਾਚੈ ਤਖਤਿ ਵਡਾਈ ਹਉਮੈ ਗਣਤ ਗਵਾਈ ਹੇ ॥੧੧॥
saachay saachai takhat vadaa-ee ha-umai ganat gavaa-ee hay. ||11||
In Truth, seated upon the true throne, they are blessed with glorious greatness; their egotism is eradicated, along with the calculation of their account. ||11||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
For those who meet the One, even an ordinary place becomes a true home.
Meeting the One, they find deep peace.
Their sense of being a separate, boastful self quietly melts away, and with it all the anxious counting and comparing.
When the boastful, separate self melts, a true home appears.
Haumai (the feeling of being a separate self) and its endless accounting are shown dissolving when one meets the One. What is left is a true throne, a true home, and peace.
A Question to Sit With
How does it feel when you stop comparing yourself to others?
