Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
So bring what's on your heart to your teacher, and simply speak it out.
Trust that what needs settling in your life will be helped along, carried through to the end.
When something weighs on you, bring it to your true teacher and say it out loud.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Kaho baynantee apunay satgur paahi — speak your prayer to your satgur, your true teacher. Kaaj tumaaray day-ay nibaahi — your tasks will be carried through.
The verse before this one was huge, as wide as the whole world. This one gets personal and practical. Bring your real worries, and say them. Think of telling a parent about a hard day at school. Just saying it out loud makes it lighter. The teaching is not only big ideas. It is a place to set down real worries.
What's something on your heart right now that would feel lighter just to say out loud?
