Shabad in Raag Bhairav
राखा एक हमारा स्वामी
सकल घटा का अंतरजामी
The One Lord, my Lord and Master, is my Protector. He is the Inner-knower, the Searcher of Hearts.
The Creator looks after all of Creation. You can’t hide the contents of your heart from the Creator (so don’t even try! Lying to yourself is lying to the Sat so always be true about what you feel and how to deal with this as otherwise you won’t feel at peace). Contemplate on this.
ऊठत सुखिया बैठत सुखिया
भो नहीं लागै जां ऐसै बुझिआ
Standing up, I am at peace; sitting down, I am at peace. I feel no fear, because this is what I understand
When someone understands that the Creator looks after all, that person constantly experiences inner peace, including when standing and sitting.
That person then feels no fear of anything in life or of death.
सोए अचिंता जाग अचिंता
जेहा कहाँ प्रभ थूं वरथनथा
I sleep without worry, and I awake without worry. You, O God, are pervading everywhere.
When this knowledge is understood and accepted, a person is always without worry, even when awake or asleep. (Or I also see this as saying when a person accepts this then they remain spiritually awake and leave sleep behind.) Only when spiritually awakened does a person say (believe) that Waheguru is present everywhere.
घर सुख वसिआ बाहर सुख पाइआ
कहु नानक गुर मंत्र ध्रिरराइआ
I dwell in peace in my home, and I am at peace outside. Says Nanak, the Guru has implanted His Mantra within me.
They feel at peace at home and experience peace outside home too (no matter what happens). Says Nanak, those who are at peace are the ones who accept the truth of the Creator being present everywhere, with the Guru helping to fix this acceptance in them.
Notice the shabad talks about peace, not happiness. I think we are always chasing happiness which will always be fleeting and false. When we achieve inner peace then we are able to deal with anything the real world throws at us and this is a more worthy goal. Inner peace will also stop a person reacting emotionally and aggravating situations. Only the state of peace achieved through Gurbani's instructions and lots of hard work can stop the rollercoaster ride of emotion we constantly experience when under the influence of maya.
