Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Turn toward the teaching and the fog of doubt just lifts. A quiet, natural music rises up inside — the sound of a heart tuning its love to the One.
This is the center of the shabad: when doubt lifts, a quiet music rises inside.
This line is the Rahao, the "pause" line, the center the shabad turns around. Gurmukh paraanee bharam gavaa-ay — the gurmukh, the person who faces the teaching, lets go of bharam, doubt.
Then sahj Dhun upjai — sahj Dhun, a natural, easy inner music, wells up. It rises the moment love is tuned to the One, har liv laa-ay.
Doubt lifting and music rising are one movement, not two. Think of fog clearing off a lake at dawn. Suddenly you hear the birds that were singing all along. When the fog clears, the melody is simply heard.
When a worry finally clears, what does the lightness that follows feel like?
