Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Letting go of everything else, I came into the shelter of the guide. My worries dissolved, and I found peace — a real, settled peace.
The shabad ends by letting go: set down what you were clutching, and worry has nothing left to hold.
Sagal ti-aag gur sarnee aa-i-aa — leaving everything else, I came to the Guru's shelter. Mitay andaysay — the worries were wiped away. Sukh paa-i-aa — peace was found.
The movement is let go, then rest. Picture carrying a heavy backpack all day, then setting it down at your front door. What was clutched is put down. Shelter is entered. And worry has nothing left to hang on to.
What is something you are clutching that you could set down to feel lighter?
