Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Set down the worrying, the fretting, the endless keeping-score in your head. You can put that heavy load down.
The Guru's people know the Hukam, the Will that moves all life. The One never fades and never leaves.
Nanak says: I am colored through with the One's love.
Worry is a load you can put down. Chint andaysaa ganat taj — anxiety, fear and endless counting are set down. Ganat means calculations, the keeping-score that runs in your head. Jan hukam pachhaataa — the humble servant recognizes the Hukam, the Will that moves all life.
Think of the heavy school bag you finally take off after a long day. Your shoulders feel light again.
Then: nah binsai nah chhod jaa-ay — the One never fades and never leaves. Naanak rang raataa — Nanak is dyed through with the One's love. This love is a color that soaks all the way through and never washes out.
What worry could you practice setting down, just for today?
