The Clear and Open Road

ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਮਿਲਿਐ ਮਾਰਗੁ ਮੁਕਤਾ ਸਹਜੇ ਮਿਲੇ ਸੁਆਮੀ ॥
satgur mili-ai maarag muktaa sehjay milay su-aamee.
Meeting with the True Guru, your path shall be clear, and you shall easily meet your Lord and Master.
ਧਨੁ ਧਨੁ ਸੇ ਜਨ ਜਿਨੀ ਕਲਿ ਮਹਿ ਹਰਿ ਪਾਇਆ ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਦ ਕੁਰਬਾਨੀ ॥੪॥੨॥
Dhan Dhan say jan jinee kal meh har paa-i-aa jan naanak sad kurbaanee. ||4||2||
Blessed, blessed are those humble beings, who, in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, find the Lord. Nanak is forever a sacrifice to them. ||4||2||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Meet the True Guru, and your road is clear. You meet your Master with ease.

Blessed, blessed are those who find the One in this hard age, Kali Yuga. Nanak says: I give my whole heart to them, always.

Meet the True Guru, and the road to the One clears.
The deeper layer

Maarag muktaa — the path made clear and free; sahjay milay — met with natural ease, not effort. Kal meh har paa-i-aa honors those who find the One in the present age.

A Question to Sit With

What's one thing that feels easier when you stop forcing it?
