Suffering Ends When Grace Pours Down

ਸੋਰਠਿ ਮਃ ੫ ॥
sorath mehlaa 5.
Sorat'h, Fifth Mehl:
ਗਏ ਕਲੇਸ ਰੋਗ ਸਭਿ ਨਾਸੇ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਅਪੁਨੈ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਧਾਰੀ ॥
ga-ay kalays rog sabh naasay parabh apunai kirpaa Dhaaree.
My sufferings have come to an end, and all diseases have been eradicated.
ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਆਰਾਧਹੁ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਪੂਰਨ ਘਾਲ ਹਮਾਰੀ ॥੧॥
aath pahar aaraaDhahu su-aamee pooran ghaal hamaaree. ||1||
God has showered me with His Grace. Twenty-four hours a day, I worship and adore my Lord and Master; my efforts have come to fruition. ||1||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

My troubles have ended and every sickness has faded, for the One poured kindness over me.

All day and all night I hold my Beloved close, and my efforts have come to their fruit.

Steady remembrance turns effort into fruit.
The deeper layer

Aath pahar aaraadhahu — remembrance through all eight watches, round the clock; not a scheduled chore but a steady companionship. Pooran ghaal — the labor completed, the striving fulfilled.

A Question to Sit With

What is something you kept at, all the way, until it worked out?
