O my mind, chant forever the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises.
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Peace arrives, and fear and doubt scatter, when the One turns kind.
Nanak says: my hopes came true when I set down my greed in the company of the good.
The resolution names exactly what dissolves: fear and doubt (bharam — the wandering, second-guessing restlessness of a divided mind). And notice how "hopes are fulfilled" — not by getting what greed wanted, but by renouncing greed itself in good company. The fulfillment comes from dropping the endless wanting, not from finally satisfying it. This is a profound reframe of hope (echoing Aasaa): the deepest hope is answered not when the craving is fed but when it quiets. Greed is a hunger that satisfaction only enlarges; letting it go is the only way it ever ends.
Does getting what you want usually make the wanting stop — or does a new want just appear?
