Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The old ache that rode along through every beginning and every ending has been lifted, and I have found a place of peace.
The tight knot of doubt and clinging came loose, and I found myself dear to the One.
A tight knot can come loose. Janam maran dukh kaati-aa — the pain of birth and death is cut away. It means the old ache of beginnings and endings is lifted. Sukh kaa thaan paa-i-aa — I have found a place of peace.
Then: kaatee silak bharam moh kee — the tight cord of doubt and clinging is cut. Moh means clinging, holding on too tight to people and things.
Think of a shoelace knot you have pulled tighter and tighter. Then someone with patient fingers loosens it in a moment. Apnay prabh bhaa-i-aa — I have become dear to my God. When the knot comes loose, you find you are loved.
What is a worry-knot inside you that you would love to see come loose?
