Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I have come near the True Teacher, who is gentle and kind without end.
Remembering the One again and again, the old fear that used to shadow me has been quietly cut away.
Satgur bhayti-o sadaa kirpaal — "I met the True Guru, forever merciful." The satgur is the true teacher, the one who brings you from darkness to light. And the fruit is kaati-aa bhau kaal — "the fear of death is cut away." In the wellbeing lens we hold this as release from the shadow of dread that haunts a forgetting mind, not as a morbid theme. Remembrance, done gently and repeatedly, loosens fear's grip until it simply falls away.
What fear has loosened its grip on you over time as you've returned to something steady again and again?
