Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I worshipped the perfect Guru with my whole heart, and my ache is gone.
My body and mind are all cool and calm; I have found peace, my brother.
An ache is eased when the whole heart turns to the Guru.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line at the center of the shabad. Gur pooraa aaraadhi-aa, binsee mayree peer: I turned my whole heart to the perfect Guru, and my ache went away. Tan man sabh seetal bha-i-aa: body and mind became cool and calm. Think of cool water on a hot, sunburned day.
Then comes a tender word, beer. It means brother or dear friend. The Guru speaks straight to us, like a friend sharing good news: paa-i-aa sukh beer, I have found peace, my friend.
What is an ache you carry that you wish would ease?
