sookh sahj aanand bhavan.
It is the realm of celestial peace and bliss.
ਸਾਧਸੰਗਿ ਬੈਸਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਤਹ ਰੋਗ ਸੋਗ ਨਹੀ ਜਨਮ ਮਰਨ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
saaDhsang bais gun gaavahi tah rog sog nahee janam maran. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, sits and sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. There is no disease or sorrow there, no birth or death. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
It is a home of easy peace and joy.
The Sangat sits there, singing the praises of the One.
There is no sickness or sorrow there, no birth and no death.
Where the One is sung together, sorrow cannot settle in.
This home of peace is not on a map. It is the Sangat (saadhsang), people gathered together to remember the One, wherever praise is sung together. Rog sog... janam maran, illness, grief, birth and death, are named only to say they do not reach there.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the centre of the shabad.
A Question to Sit With
Where is a place, or who is a group, that makes your worries quiet down?
