Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A light dawned in me, and everything lit up; the Teacher's understanding grew clear and bright in my mind.
I drank deeply of the sweetness of the Name, my heart felt full, and a fearless calm settled over me.
Bha-i-o pargaas sarab ujee-aaraa — 'light dawned, everything illumined' — the recurring darkness-to-light image of understanding. Gur gian maneh paragtaa-i-o — the Teacher's gian (insight) became manifest in the mind. Then the taste: amrit naam pee-o man tarapti-aa — 'drinking the amrit (nectar-sweet) Name, the mind is satisfied,' the same stilling of hunger met elsewhere. Anbhai thahraa-i-o — 'the fearless (state) settled' — echoing nirbhau: light, sweetness, and a deep fearless calm all arriving together.
Think of a moment when something suddenly made sense — did it also make you feel calmer?
