Raag Bilaaval
Commentary

Raag Bilaaval, Dupda, Mehl 5 (Guru Arjan)

Good company loosens knots you did not know you were tied in.

The Arc

The Rahau finds refuge and service among those who love the One, and the busy tangles of worry loosen. The verse names peace, settled ease, and great gladness from the teaching, and the gentle turning-around back toward home; the close sees the beloved One with everyone, no one left out, and feels wholly fulfilled.
