Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Keep the words of the teaching held safe in your mind. When you hold the Name there and remember, the anxious swarm of worries simply lifts and goes.
Keep the Guru's words safe inside you, and worries lose their hold.
Gur kaa sabad raakh man maahi — keep the Guru's Word in your mind. Raakh means to guard, to keep safe. The teaching is not glanced at once and forgotten. It is carried, like a note from someone you love tucked in your pocket.
Naam simar chintaa sabh jaahi — remember the Name, and all chintaa, anxiety, goes away. Remembering works on worry the way light works on shadows. Switch on the light, and the shadows are simply gone.
What is one true thing you could keep safe in your mind when worries swarm?
