Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When I hold the Beloved's Name, it does not matter what happens to my body.
My awareness stays soaked through with the Name, at peace.
When your mind rests in the Name, what happens outside cannot shake you.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. It shows Kabir's fearlessness. Whatever happens to the body, his mind stays samaa-ay, soaked in the Name. It is like a cloth dyed all the way through, so the color cannot wash out.
When you are that steady inside, the outside cannot knock you over. Think of a tree with deep roots in a storm. This is sahaj, a natural, deep calm that holds firm.
What steadies you inside so much that outside troubles lose their power?
