Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I have finally gotten the better of those big inner troubles, and now my words and my whole way of being have turned gentle and sweet.
A bright light has dawned in my mind, and I have found a deep, unshakable peace at the center of myself.
This one says that when the storms inside settle down, it shows in how you speak.
Jeet la-ay o-ay mahaa bikhaadee — those great troublemakers are beaten. Not by war, but by the shelter and practice the shabad just described.
The fruit shows in the voice. Sahj suhaylee banee — words become naturally sweet and gentle. Sahj means natural and calm. The inside changes the outside. Think of how your voice sounds after a hard day, and how different it sounds when you feel at peace.
Man bha-i-aa pargaasaa — light has dawned in the mind. Paa-i-aa pad nirbaanee — the state of nirbaan is reached: deep peace, freedom from inner storms. The shabad ends where it hoped: safe, calm, and quietly shining.
When you feel calm inside, how does it change the way you talk to the people around you?
