Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When the Guru was fully pleased with me, my fear went away.
I keep the Naam of the pure One in my mind. The One is kind to the humble, and always full of mercy. Every knot I was tangled in has come undone.
When the Guru is pleased, fear leaves, and the knots of life come undone.
Gur suparsan ho-ay bha-o ga-ay: the Guru was pleased, and fear went away. Naam niranjan: the Naam of the pure One, kept in the mind. Deen da-iaal: kind to the humble, to the small and the poor. Janjaal are tangles, the knots of worry and busyness we get caught in.
Think of a ball of string that has been knotted for weeks. A patient hand finds the loose end, and the whole thing comes free.
What is a fear that got smaller once you understood something better?
