Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You who love the One, listen to the One's praise with your own ears.
Hear the story of the One for even a single moment, and a whole load of old mistakes lifts and falls away.
Even one moment of deep listening can lift a heavy load off your heart.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line at the center of the shabad. Har har kathaa sunhu ik nimakh pal — listen to the story of the One, even for an instant. Sabh kilvikh paap leh jaanee — and all your faults, your paap, fall away.
It is like putting down a heavy school bag after a long day. Your shoulders feel light at once.
Deep listening, suniai, works fast. In Japji Sahib the same promise comes again and again: deep listening washes away pain and mistakes. The picture is gentle. The faults are let go, like a weight set down.
Has a single sentence from someone ever made a bad feeling lift right off you?
