Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is unseen and endless. Let that One live in my mind, even for a moment.
Then all my pains, troubles, and sicknesses fade away.
This one says even one moment of the One's presence can melt away a load of pain.
Saa-ee alakh apaar bhoree man vasai — if the Master lives in my mind even for a moment. Alakh means unseen, and apaar means without end. Then dookh darad rog — pains, troubles, and sicknesses — all run away.
The cure is not long, hard effort. It is one true moment of presence. Think of a dark room when someone flicks on the light. The dark doesn't leave slowly, bit by bit. It is gone at once. Another hymn says the same thing: a person can be saved in an instant. Grace works fast when it comes.
Have you had a moment of clarity or presence that lifted a weight at once?
