ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਕਵਲ ਰਿਦ ਧਾਰੇ ॥
gur kay charan kaval rid Dhaaray.
I enshrine the lotus feet of the Guru within my heart.
ਬਿਘਨੁ ਨ ਲਾਗੈ ਤਿਲ ਕਾ ਕੋਈ ਕਾਰਜ ਸਗਲ ਸਵਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
bighan na laagai til kaa ko-ee kaaraj sagal savaaray. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Not even the tiniest obstacle blocks my way; all my affairs are resolved. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I hold the lotus feet of the teaching in my heart.
Not even the tiniest obstacle blocks my way, and all my tasks come right.
A steady heart is not stopped by the small bumps in the road.
The Rahau: bighan na laagai til kaa -- not even a sesame seed's worth of obstruction. It is not that the road has no bumps, but that a settled heart is not stopped by them.
A Question to Sit With
What is a small obstacle you could walk right past instead of letting it stop you?
