A Home That Never Changes

ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਅਬਿਨਾਸੀ ਰੈਣਿ ਦਿਨੁ ਗਾਉ ॥
parabh abhinaasee rain din gaa-o.
Sing the Praises of the Eternal, Imperishable Lord God, night and day.
ਜੀਵਤ ਮਰਤ ਨਿਹਚਲੁ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਥਾਉ ॥੨॥
jeevat marat nihchal paavahi thaa-o. ||2||
In life, and in death, you shall find your eternal, unchanging home. ||2||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Sing the praises of the One who never fades, morning and night.

In doing so, you find a home inside you that stays steady through everything — even the hardest changes.

There is a home inside you that no change can take away.
The deeper layer

parabh abhinaasee rain din gaa-o — praising the abhinaasee (imperishable) day and night. jeevat marat nihchal paavahi thaa-o — finding a nihchal (unchanging) thaao (place) through all of life. A steadiness that does not depend on circumstances.

A Question to Sit With

Where do you feel most at home in yourself, no matter what is happening?
