Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I want to stand in the shelter of those who never let the One slip from their heart. By great good fortune, a person meets one of these true, good souls — and once they do, the whole fear of being lost, of endings and beginnings, simply falls away.
This one says to stay close to people who never forget the One, and there the fear of endings falls away.
Taa kee saran jin bisrat naahee — I seek the shelter of those who never forget the One. Saran means shelter, refuge. The seeker takes shelter in the One, and also in the company of people rooted in the One. Think of sitting near a warm fire on a cold night. Being close to it warms you too.
Vadbhaagee har sant milaahee — meeting such a sant, a holy person, is great good fortune.
Janam maran tih moolay naahee — for them, birth and death are not there at all. Janam maran means birth and death, the coming and going of life after life. Being free of it can be heard this way: the fear of endings and beginnings falls away. It is a hopeful, light promise.
Who in your life makes big fears feel smaller just by being near them?
