Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One makes us worry, and the One also takes the worry away.
Nanak says: praise the One who takes care of everyone.
Praise the One who gives both worry and ease and looks after all.
Worry and ease both come from the One, who looks after everyone.
Guru Amar Das, signing as Nanak, adds this salok after Kabir's words about plans. Chintaa bhe aap karaa-isee: the One makes worry happen. Achint bhe aapay day-ay: the One gives freedom from worry too. Sabhnaa saar karay-i: the One takes care of all.
A Question to Sit With
