Beyond Worry, Held by Love, a Peace That Sings

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

Kabir asks for clear understanding, and then his peace turns into song.

Deh bimal mat sadaa sareeraa — please give me pure understanding that lasts. He does not ask to be rescued from every hard thing. He asks for clear, steady seeing, the kind that takes away the whirlpool's power.

Then comes the answer. Sahj sahj gun ravai kabeeraa — calm and settled, Kabir sings the One's praises. Sahj means a natural, easy calm. The relief does not stop at quiet. It spills over into singing. Think of the moment after a storm when the birds start up again. Here the whole shabad comes together. You are loved past every mistake. You can always reach for the steady hand. And on the other side of worry is a settled, singing peace.
