ਜਬ ਤੇ ਜਾਨਿ ਪਾਈ ਏਹ ਬਾਤਾ ਤਬ ਕੁਸਲ ਖੇਮ ਸਭ ਥੀਓ ॥
jab tay jaan paa-ee ayh baataa tab kusal khaym sabh thee-o.
Since I came to realize this, I have been blessed with total peace and pleasure.
ਸਾਧਸੰਗਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਪਰਗਾਸਿਓ ਆਨ ਨਾਹੀ ਰੇ ਬੀਓ ॥੨॥੧॥੨॥
saaDhsang naanak pargaasi-o aan naahee ray bee-o. ||2||1||2||
In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, this has been revealed to Nanak, and now, there is no other for him at all. ||2||1||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Ever since I understood this, I've had a deep, steady peace and gladness.
Good company showed me — and now I know there's nothing else I truly need.
Once you learn to trust instead of blame, a deep, steady peace settles in.
The shabad closes: "since I came to realize this, I have been blessed with total peace... in the Saadh Sangat this was revealed, and now there is no other for him at all." The realization — don't blame, trust, flow with life — brings lasting peace, and it came through good company. The colophon (||2||1||2||) closes. For a child: once you learn to trust instead of blame, a deep, steady peace settles in.
A Question to Sit With
What would change if you spent less energy blaming and more trusting?
