Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When my heart holds fast to the teaching, my aches, my hurts, and my doubts lose their grip and run off.
Living by the teaching brings a quiet dignity, and I would give anything for it.
The Guru says that when the mind holds on to the Teacher, pain and doubt run away.
Gur charnee jaa kaa man laagai — the one whose mind holds fast to the Guru's feet. Holding someone's feet is an old way of showing love and trust.
Dookh darad bharam taa kaa bhaagai — their pain, hurt, and doubt run off. Bharam means doubt, the wobbly feeling of not being sure.
Maan means honor. The verse says it comes from sayvaa, humble service, like helping to wash up after a family meal. It does not come from being important.
Kurbaan means "I would give anything." It is the language of love with your whole heart.
What helps your worries loosen their hold on you?
