Savaiye in Praise of Guru Arjun, the Fifth (Bhatt Kall), Verse 6 — one who carries others' pain away
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Cheers of victory for him ring out all over the world. His home is full of good fortune, and he stays joined with the One.
By great good fortune he found the Perfect Guru. He stays lovingly tuned to the Guru, and he carries the weight of the world.
He breaks fear and takes away the pain of others. Kal Sahaar says: O Guru, I sing your praise.
In the Sodhi family, Arjun is born, the son of Guru Ram Das. He holds the flag of right living, and he is the One's devotee.
Guru Arjun is steady enough to carry the weight of the world and to take away other people's pain.
Maydan bhar sahtaa means bearing the load of the earth: a steadiness so deep it can hold others up. Kal Sahaar is the bard Kal's fuller name. The Sodhi family is the family of Guru Ram Das, and dharam dhujaa is the flag of right living. Once again, the Guru is praised for what he does for others: par peer nivaaran, taking away others' pain.
When have you helped carry a load for someone else?
