ਰਖਿ ਰਖਿ ਪੈਰ ਧਰੇ ਪਉ ਧਰਣਾ ॥
rakh rakh pair Dharay pa-o Dharnaa.
Carefully, carefully, I place my feet upon the ground.
ਜਤ ਕਤ ਦੇਖਉ ਤੇਰੀ ਸਰਣਾ ॥
jat kat daykh-a-u tayree sarnaa.
Wherever I go, I behold Your Sanctuary.
ਦੁਖੁ ਸੁਖੁ ਦੇਹਿ ਤੂਹੈ ਮਨਿ ਭਾਵਹਿ ਤੁਝ ਹੀ ਸਿਉ ਬਣਿ ਆਈ ਹੇ ॥੧੫॥
dukh sukh deh toohai man bhaaveh tujh hee si-o ban aa-ee hay. ||15||
Whether You grant me pain or pleasure, You are pleasing to my mind. I am in harmony with You. ||15||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I walk softly and carefully through my days.
And wherever I go, I find I am already inside Your shelter.
Whether the day brings me joy or difficulty, You are dear to me; I am at peace, in step with You.
Wherever I step, I am already inside a shelter I did not build.
Careful walking becomes an image of mindful living. The soul discovers it is always already sheltered, so both pleasure and pain are met in the same steady closeness with the One.

What is a place or person that feels like shelter when your day is hard?
