Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
From the true teacher I have found my footing and my worth. Meditating on the Name, all my aches have melted away. Now I live in a steady, quiet joy, my love resting easily on the Name.
Here the singer has arrived, and speaks as "I," from real experience.
Satgur tay ham gat pat paa-ee — from the True Guru I received gat and pat. Gat means freedom, sure footing. Pat means honor and worth. Think of finally finding solid ground under your feet after wading through a river.
Har naam Dhi-aa-i-aa dookh sagal mitaa-ee — meditating on the Name, all my sorrows are wiped away. They are not pushed down and hidden. They melt, like ice in the sun.
Sadaa anand har naam liv laa-ee — anand is steady, quiet joy. It comes from love resting on the Name. The earlier verses promised this fruit. Now it is spoken as something lived.
What practice or presence helps your aches soften into something steadier and calmer?
