Sorat'h, Fifth Mehl:
ਆਗੈ ਸੁਖੁ ਮੇਰੇ ਮੀਤਾ ॥

Peace in this world, O my friends,
ਪਾਛੇ ਆਨਦੁ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਕੀਤਾ ॥

and bliss in the world hereafter - God has given me this.
ਪਰਮੇਸੁਰਿ ਬਣਤ ਬਣਾਈ ॥
parmaysur banat banaa-ee.
The Transcendent Lord has arranged these arrangements;
ਫਿਰਿ ਡੋਲਤ ਕਤਹੂ ਨਾਹੀ ॥੧॥
fir dolat kathoo naahee. ||1||
I shall never waver again. ||1||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

There is peace for me right here, and a quiet joy waiting up ahead — both given freely.

The way things are arranged is steady and sure, so my heart no longer wobbles with fear.

When you trust the flow of things, your heart stops wobbling.
The deeper layer

aagai sukh, paachhay aanad — peace here and bliss beyond; banat banaaee — the arrangement made; dolat kathoo naahee — no wavering anywhere. Trust in how things are arranged brings steadiness.

A Question to Sit With

What helps you feel steady when you are unsure what comes next?
