ਸੰਜੋਗੁ ਵਿਜੋਗੁ ਮੇਰੈ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਕੀਏ ॥
sanjog vijog mayrai parabh kee-ay.
Union and separation were created by my God.
ਸ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਉਪਾਇ ਦੁਖਾ ਸੁਖ ਦੀਏ ॥
sarisat upaa-ay dukhaa sukh dee-ay.
Creating the Universe, He gave it pain and pleasure.
ਦੁਖ ਸੁਖ ਹੀ ਤੇ ਭਏ ਨਿਰਾਲੇ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸੀਲੁ ਸਨਾਹਾ ਹੇ ॥੮॥
dukh sukh hee tay bha-ay niraalay gurmukh seel sanaahaa hay. ||8||
The Gurmukhs remain unaffected by pain and pleasure; they wear the armor of humility. ||8||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Coming together and parting are both woven into the One's great design.
Along with the world came both its joys and its sorrows.
The Gurmukh stays steady through both, wearing humility like gentle armor that keeps them whole.
Humility is a gentle armor that keeps you steady through joy and sorrow.
Sanjog vijog (union and separation) and dukh sukh (sorrow and joy) are part of creation. The gurmukh stays niraalay (unaffected), wearing seel sanaahaa, the armor of humility, steady through a rooted, humble heart. This is sahaj.
A Question to Sit With
