Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I lean my whole weight on You and have come to Your shelter. Living in the love of the Name, I enjoy an easy, natural peace — and sorrow no longer takes hold of me.
Leaning your whole weight on the One is not weakness. It is the relief of finally being held.
Jan naanak orh tuhaaree pari-o — servant Nanak leans on Your support. Aa-i-o sarnaagi-o — I have come to Your shelter. Taking shelter in the One is a central Sikh way of standing before the One. It is not giving in. It is the deep relief of leaning on something that can hold you, like flopping onto a big, soft sofa after a long day.
Naam rang sahj ras maanay — in the love of the Name, I enjoy the taste of sahj, easy, natural peace. That brings the whole shabad home. Fir dookh na laagi-o — pain no longer sticks.
Who or what can you lean your whole weight on when you're tired or afraid?
