jinee hukam pachhaani-aa say maylay ha-umai sabad jalaa-ay.
Those who realize the Hukam of the Lord's Command are united with Him; through the Word of His Shabad, their egotism is burnt away.
ਸਚੀ ਭਗਤਿ ਕਰਹਿ ਦਿਨੁ ਰਾਤੀ ਸਚਿ ਰਹੇ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਇ ॥
sachee bhagat karahi din raatee sach rahay liv laa-ay.
They perform true devotional worship day and night; they remain lovingly attuned to the True Lord.
ਸਦਾ ਸਚੁ ਹਰਿ ਵੇਖਦੇ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਸੁਭਾਇ ॥੧॥
sadaa sach har vaykh-day gur kai sabad subhaa-ay. ||1||
They gaze on their True Lord forever, through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, with loving ease. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In plain words
Those who come to know the Hukam, the flow of existence, are joined with the One; through the Word, their ego burns away.
Day and night they worship with true love, and stay lovingly tuned to the True One.
Through the Guru's Word, they see the True One always, with gentle ease.
Reading the flow of life melts the hard shell of ego.
The deeper layer
When you read the flow of existence, the Word burns away ego, and you see the True One with ease.
Jinee hukam pachhaani-aa: those who recognize the flow of existence are united with the One. Their ego (haumai — the feeling of being a separate self) burns away in the light of the Shabad. Their devotion is steady day and night, and they see the True One with subhaa-ay, a gentle ease.
A Question to Sit With
What is something that flows better when you stop fighting it?
