Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Listening deeply to Gurbani washes away whatever clouds the heart.
And, in natural ease, the Naam comes to live within.
Listening deeply to the Guru's Word washes the heart clean.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Gurbaanee sun mail gavaa-ay — listening to Gurbani, the Guru's Word, washes off the dirt. Sehjay har naam man vasaa-ay — in Sahaj, natural ease, the Name comes to live inside.
This is suniai, deep listening, as a kind of washing. You do not strain or push. You let the Word soak in, the way rain slowly rinses the dust off a car, until the heart is clear.
What is something you can listen to that leaves you feeling clearer and calmer?
