mehlaa 2.
Second Mehl:
ਜਾਂ ਸੁਖੁ ਤਾ ਸਹੁ ਰਾਵਿਓ ਦੁਖਿ ਭੀ ਸੰਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਾਲਿਓਇ ॥
jaaN sukh taa saho raavi-o dukh bhee sammHaali-o-i.
When there is peace and pleasure, that is the time to remember your Husband Lord. In times of suffering and pain, remember Him then as well.
ਨਾਨਕੁ ਕਹੈ ਸਿਆਣੀਏ ਇਉ ਕੰਤ ਮਿਲਾਵਾ ਹੋਇ ॥੨॥
naanak kahai si-aanee-ay i-o kant milaavaa ho-ay. ||2||
Says Nanak, O wise bride, this is the way to meet your Husband Lord. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When life is good and happy, that is a wonderful time to hold the One in your heart. And when life is hard and hurting — that is the time to hold the One too.
Remembering in both, the sunny days and the stormy ones, is exactly how a heart grows close to its Source. Not only when things go well; all the time.
Hold the One close in the happy days and the hard days alike.
jaan sukh taa saho raavi-o, dukh bhee sammaali-o-i = remember the Beloved in pleasure and in pain alike — steadiness through both, a hallmark of sahaj. Guru Angad addresses the wise one (si-aanee-ay): remembrance is not a fair-weather practice.
A Question to Sit With
Is it easier for you to remember what matters when things are going well, or when they are hard?
