ਅਪੁ ਤੇਜੁ ਵਾਇ ਪ੍ਰਿਥਮੀ ਆਕਾਸਾ ॥
ap tayj vaa-ay parithmee aakaasaa.
Water, fire, air, earth and ether
ਤਿਨ ਮਹਿ ਪੰਚ ਤਤੁ ਘਰਿ ਵਾਸਾ ॥
tin meh panch tat ghar vaasaa.
- in that house of the five elements, they dwell.
ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸਬਦਿ ਰਹਹਿ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਾਤਾ ਤਜਿ ਮਾਇਆ ਹਉਮੈ ਭ੍ਰਾਤਾ ਹੇ ॥੬॥
satgur sabad raheh rang raataa taj maa-i-aa ha-umai bharaataa hay. ||6||
Those who remain imbued with the Word of the True Guru's Shabad, renounce Maya, egotism and doubt. ||6||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Water and fire, air and earth and open space — these five simple things build the house of the body.
Within that house, all of us live out our days.
Those who stay soaked in the Word gently let go of grasping, of ego, and of nagging doubt — and the house fills with peace.
Your body is a house of five simple things, made peaceful by the Word.
The body is a house of panch tat (five elements). Those soaked (rang raataa) in the True Guru's sabad let go of maa-i-aa, ha-umai (ego) and bharaataa (doubt).
A Question to Sit With
