ਸਹਜ ਸਮਾਧਿ ਸਦਾ ਲਿਵ ਹਰਿ ਸਿਉ ਜੀਵਾਂ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਨ ਗਾਈ ॥
sahj samaaDh sadaa liv har si-o jeevaaN har gun gaa-ee.
I am absorbed in celestial samaadhi, lovingly attached to the Lord forever. I live by singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.
ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਰਤਾ ਬੈਰਾਗੀ ਨਿਜ ਘਰਿ ਤਾੜੀ ਲਾਈ ॥੬॥
gur kai sabad rataa bairaagee nij ghar taarhee laa-ee. ||6||
Imbued with the Word of the Guru's Shabad, I have become detached from the world. In the profound primal trance, I dwell within the home of my own inner being. ||6||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I rest in a deep, quiet stillness, always turned toward the One, and I live by singing its wonders.
Colored through by the Guru's Word, I have loosened my grip on what does not last, and I have come home to dwell in the quiet room deep inside myself.
The deepest stillness is a home you already have inside.
sahj samaadh is an effortless, natural absorption, not a forced trance. bairaagee, detachment, means loosening one's grip on what passes; it is warm, never cold. nij ghar means one's own home, the inner center where the One already dwells; taarhee is the deep, settled attention that rests there.
A Question to Sit With
Where inside yourself do you go when you want to feel quiet?
