ਆਵਹਿ ਸਚੇ ਜਾਵਹਿ ਸਚੇ ਫਿਰਿ ਜੂਨੀ ਮੂਲਿ ਨ ਪਾਹਿ ॥
aavahi sachay jaaveh sachay fir joonee mool na paahi.
In Truth we come, and in Truth we go, and then, we are not consigned to reincarnation again.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਦਰਿ ਸਾਚੈ ਸਚਿਆਰ ਹਹਿ ਸਾਚੇ ਮਾਹਿ ਸਮਾਹਿ ॥੫॥
gurmukh dar saachai sachiaar heh saachay maahi samaahi. ||5||
The Gurmukhs are hailed as True in the True Court; they merge in the True Lord. ||5||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Come in truth, go in truth, and you rest easy — no more restless circling.
Hearts made of truth are welcomed home and become one with the One.
A life lived honestly, from start to finish, comes to rest — no more restless circling.
"In Truth we come, and in Truth we go." A whole life bracketed by truth — arriving and departing in it — brings rest, an end to restless wandering (aavan jaan, coming-and-going). The gurmukhs "are hailed as True in the True Court and merge in the True Lord." For a child: a life lived in truth, from beginning to end, comes to rest, at home.
A Question to Sit With
How does being truthful help you feel settled instead of restless?
