Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Seeing the presence of the One, my mind has grown cool and calm.
And the weight of old mistakes, piled up across so much of my life, has lifted and washed away.
This one says that seeing the One's presence cools the heart and lifts old weights.
Darsan daykh — seeing the presence. It makes the mind seetal, which means cool and calm. That coolness shows up again and again in these shabads. It is the sign of a mind that has settled down.
Think of coming inside from a hot, sweaty day and drinking cold water. Your whole body calms down.
Janam janam kay kilbikh ga-ay — the faults of many lifetimes went away. In plain words, it is old mistakes, piled up over a long time. The point is a weight carried for a long time, finally lifted.
What helps you set down a mistake you've been carrying, so you feel light again?
