The True Guru is the Giver of all peace and comfort - seek His Sanctuary.
ਦਰਸਨੁ ਭੇਟਤ ਹੋਤ ਅਨੰਦਾ ਦੂਖੁ ਗਇਆ ਹਰਿ ਗਾਈਐ ॥੧॥
darsan bhaytat hot anandaa dookh ga-i-aa har gaa-ee-ai. ||1||
Beholding the Blessed Vision of His Darshan, bliss ensues, pain is dispelled, and one sings the Lord's Praises. ||1||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The teaching is where every kind of peace comes from — so I make my home there.

Simply turning toward it, joy rises up, the ache melts, and a song of thanks begins.

Turn toward what steadies you, and joy rises on its own.
The deeper layer

sarab sukhaa kaa daataa — the giver of all peace; darsan bhaytat hot anandaa — turning toward it, bliss arises; dookh gaiaa har gaaee-ai — pain departs and one sings. Turning toward the teaching as the source of joy.

A Question to Sit With

What is something you can turn toward that reliably brings you peace?
