Fifth Mehl:
ਦੇਹ ਛਿਜੰਦੜੀ ਊਣ ਮਝੂਣਾ ਗੁਰਿ ਸਜਣਿ ਜੀਉ ਧਰਾਇਆ ॥
dayh chhijand-rhee oon majhoonaa gur sajan jee-o Dharaa-i-aa.
My body was wasting away, and I was depressed. The Guru, my Friend, has encouraged and consoled me.
ਹਭੇ ਸੁਖ ਸੁਹੇਲੜਾ ਸੁਤਾ ਜਿਤਾ ਜਗੁ ਸਬਾਇਆ ॥੨॥
habhay sukh suhaylrhaa sutaa jitaa jag sabaa-i-aa. ||2||
I sleep in total peace and comfort; I have conquered the whole world. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My body was wearing thin, and I was low and sad. The Guru, my Friend, gave me courage and comfort.
Now I sleep in peace and ease, as if I had won the whole world.
The right encouragement, at the right moment, can lift you back to your feet.
Feeling low and worn thin is named honestly, and then comfort comes: the Guru as Friend gives courage (dharaa-i-aa). To win the whole world here is inner, not military: the deep peace of someone lifted back to their feet.
If you feel low for a long time, telling a grown-up you trust is always a good step.
A Question to Sit With
Whose words have lifted you when you were feeling low?
