Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When you live by the Guru's word, you find a peace deeper than any other kind of good feeling — the sweetest peace of all. It is the ease that comes from not fighting your own life.
And something else happens too: fear starts to fall away. When you live the way the Guru lives, worry loosens its grip. Nanak says: you will cross over the things that once seemed too hard.
Shalok, Third Mehl. gur kaa kahi-aa jay karay sukhee hoo sukh saar — living by the Guru's word brings the very essence of peace. gur kee karnee bhau katee-ai: acting in accordance cuts away fear (bhau), and paavahi paar — one is carried across. Peace and fearlessness are the fruits of trust put into action (sahj).
Whose guidance do you trust enough to live by?
