ਜਹ ਅਨਹਤ ਸੂਰ ਉਜ੍ਯ੍ਯਾਰਾ ॥
jah anhat soor uj-yaaraa.
Where the light of the undying sun shines,
ਤਹ ਦੀਪਕ ਜਲੈ ਛੰਛਾਰਾ ॥
tah deepak jalai chhanchhaaraa.
the light of burning lamps seems insignificant.
ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਜਾਨਿਆ ॥
gur parsaadee jaani-aa.
By Guru's Grace, I know this.
ਜਨੁ ਨਾਮਾ ਸਹਜ ਸਮਾਨਿਆ ॥੪॥੧॥
jan naamaa sahj samaani-aa. ||4||1||
Servant Naam Dayv is absorbed in the Celestial Lord. ||4||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Where the light of the undying, never-setting Sun shines out, every little flickering lamp looks tiny and dim beside it.
By grace I have come to know this for myself. Namdev has quietly melted into the Peaceful One, at home, at ease, completely at rest.
Beside the undying Sun of the One, every smaller light gently fades, and the soul comes to rest.
anhat soor uj-yaaraa (the undying sun's light) outshines every deepak (lamp), the infinite One beside which all lesser lights fade. The close: jan naamaa sahj samaani-aa (Namdev is absorbed in sahj, natural ease/peace). Sahaj is the effortless equilibrium of the soul that has stopped fighting and come home.
A Question to Sit With
What is a small worry or want that might fade away in the presence of something truly vast and good?
