Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Grace reached me and loosened the knots that had me tied up inside. It gave me something gentle and sure to hold onto — like resting at the feet of someone completely trustworthy.
Grace loosens the knots inside and gives you something safe to hold on to.
Kar kirpaa parabh bandhan chhot — showing grace, God set me free from bondage. Bandhan are the inner knots of craving, fear and ego. Kirpaa, grace, is what sets you free here.
Charan kamal kee deenee ot — the One gave me the shelter of the lotus feet. Charan kamal, "lotus feet," is Gurbani's tender picture for taking refuge in the One. It means closeness and shelter, not actual feet. Think of a little child holding on to a parent's hand in a crowded place. That is the picture: near, held, and safe.
What is a knot inside you — a worry or a habit — that you would love to feel loosen?
