Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
It's as if I gently rubbed a healing balm on my eyes — and suddenly I could see the One everywhere.
That presence fills my whole being, and I settle into it easily and naturally. Rare is the person who quiets their 'me-first' feeling and rests content.
The shabad ends on a gorgeous image: anjan saar — applying a healing ointment to the eyes, so that clouded sight clears and the ever-present One becomes visible. The seeing was the problem, not the presence — the One was always here; the eyes needed healing. And the merging is sahj — with intuitive ease, no strain. The closing line is honest about how rare this is: the one who truly conquers ego and stays pleased with the Lord — content, not always reaching for more — is uncommon. But the whole shabad has just shown that the healing is available: it starts with letting wisdom clear your sight.
What helps 'clear your eyes' so you notice good that was there all along?
