ਡਿਗਿ ਨ ਡੋਲੈ ਕਤਹੂ ਨ ਧਾਵੈ ॥
dig na dolai kathoo na Dhaavai.
No one falls there, or wavers, or goes anywhere.
ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਕੋ ਇਹੁ ਮਹਲੁ ਪਾਵੈ ॥
gur parsaad ko ih mahal paavai.
By Guru's Grace, some find this mansion.
ਭ੍ਰਮ ਭੈ ਮੋਹ ਨ ਮਾਇਆ ਜਾਲ ॥
bharam bhai moh na maa-i-aa jaal.
They are not touched by doubt, fear, attachment or the traps of Maya.
ਸੁੰਨ ਸਮਾਧਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਕਿਰਪਾਲ ॥੩॥
sunn samaaDh parabhoo kirpaal. ||3||
They enter the deepest state of Samaadhi, through the kind mercy of God. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
No one there stumbles or wanders off.
By the Guru's grace, some find this inner home.
Doubt, fear, clinging, the traps of getting and having — none of them can grab hold.
In the deep stillness, they rest in the kindness of the One.
Grace, not force, brings you to the still inner home.
Sunn samaadh — the deep, empty stillness — is reached gur parsaad (by grace), never by force. The list of what cannot touch this state (doubt, fear, moh, maa-i-aa jaal) is the same list of tangles that keep a mind spinning.
A Question to Sit With
What is one thing that stops bothering you when you get very still?
