Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Inside the body are wanting, anger, the puffed-up "me," and clinging. That pain is very heavy and hard to bear.
Facing the Guru, say the Naam of the One and taste its sweetness on your tongue. This way, you will cross over to the other side.
Wanting, anger, ego and clinging hurt, and tasting the Naam carries you across.
Kaam krodh ha-o mamtaa: desire, anger, ego and attachment. Kathin peer at bhaaree: the pain is heavy and hard to bear. It is okay to admit these feelings are hard.
The way through is ras rasnaa, savoring the Naam on your tongue, as a gurmukh, someone who faces the Guru. Think of a cough drop slowly melting. A little at a time, it soothes.
Which inner storm is hardest for you, and what helps it pass?
