Verse 4 of 5

A Natural, Easy Joy

ਸਹਜਿ ਅਨੰਦ ਕਰਹੁ ਮੇਰੇ ਭਾਈ ॥
sahj anand karahu mayray bhaa-ee.
Enjoy celestial bliss, O my Siblings of Destiny.
ਗੁਰਿ ਪੂਰੈ ਸਭ ਚਿੰਤ ਮਿਟਾਈ ॥੩॥
gur poorai sabh chint mitaa-ee. ||3||
The Perfect Guru has eradicated all anxiety. ||3||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Enjoy a calm, natural happiness, my brothers and sisters.

The perfect Guru has cleared away all my worry.

The best kind of joy is the kind that doesn't have to be forced.
The deeper layer

Sahj anand — the joy of sahaj, natural ease: happiness that isn't forced or performed, but simply flows when the heart stops fighting. The warm address mayray bhaa-ee (my siblings) turns it into an invitation shared with everyone.

A Question to Sit With

When do you feel happy in a way that feels completely natural and unforced?
