ਰਾਮਕਲੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥
raamkalee mehlaa 5.
Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:
ਜੋ ਤਿਸੁ ਭਾਵੈ ਸੋ ਥੀਆ ॥
jo tis bhaavai so thee-aa.
Whatever pleases Him happens.
ਸਦਾ ਸਦਾ ਹਰਿ ਕੀ ਸਰਣਾਈ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਹੀ ਆਨ ਬੀਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
sadaa sadaa har kee sarnaa-ee parabh bin naahee aan bee-aa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Forever and ever, I seek the Sanctuary of the Lord.There is none other than God. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whatever pleases the One is what comes to be.
Forever and ever, I seek the shelter of the One.
There is no one else but the One.
Life moves in its own current; there is deep rest in trusting it.
What pleases the One is what happens. This is Hukam, the flow of existence: not a set of orders barked from above, but the way life moves. You can rest in that flow, sheltered by the One.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line at the centre of the shabad: jo tis bhaavai so thee-aa. It steadies everything that follows.
