Salok Vaaraan Te Vadheek (Mehl 4), Salok 122 — healing the great illness of ego
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who remember the One with one mind and one heart keep their attention on the True Guru.
Their pain, their hunger, and the great illness of ego are gone; lovingly tuned, they become free of fault.
They sing the One's praises, they speak the One's praises, and in those praises they rest and melt away.
Nanak says: through the Perfect Guru, they have found the One, who comes and meets them with ease.
Remembering the One with an undivided heart heals the great illness of ego.
Ik man ik chit dhi-aa-i-aa: remembering with one mind and one heart. Ha-umai vadaa rog: ego, the feeling of being a separate self, is called the great illness — something to heal. Nirdokh means free of fault. Sahj mili-aa parabh aa-ay: the One comes and meets them in sahj, natural ease.
What helps you feel connected to others instead of shut off and alone?
