Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When I hold the One in loving memory, my troubles come undone. It is as if the presence I love has taken up a home right inside my mind, and settled there.
This one says that remembering the One with love makes our troubles come undone.
Har simrat sabh miteh kalays — when you remember the One, every trouble is wiped away. Kalays means suffering and strife, the fights inside us and around us.
The second line gives the picture. Charan kamal man meh parvays — the lotus feet of the One come in and live inside the mind. "Lotus feet" is a loving way to speak of the One's presence.
Think of a dear grandparent who comes to stay in your home. You don't have to go looking for them. They are right there, in the next room. That is the point. The One is not far away, someone to beg from a distance. This nearness is found, not fetched. The One makes a home exactly where you already are.
What would it feel like to know that something steady and kind already lives inside you?
