Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
So I set down the tangled worries in my mind — the endless what-ifs that spin and never settle.
I keep it simple: I hold the One Name close, and I rest in the One's care. That quiet trust is worth more than all my worrying.
Set down the spinning worry, and hold one simple thing close.
Kahat kabeer sunhu ray paraanee chhodahu man kay bharmaa: Kabir says, listen, friend, let go of the bharam in your mind. Bharam is doubt that spins and never settles, like a washing machine stuck on spin.
Kayval naam japahu: hold only the Name. Parahu ayk kee sarnaa: rest in the shelter of the One. The whole shabad has been a wake-up call. Here it lands in one calm, simple step: trust, and keep it simple, in place of anxious striving.
What worry could you set down today, just to see how it feels?
