Worry Rehearses Feared Futures; Remembrance Is a Breath Away
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Serve the teaching always, and sing the glories of the One.
With every breath, adore the One, and the worry weighing on your mind will lift.
Worry is a mind practicing scary futures. This shabad gives a simple cure.
saas saas araaDh har har — with every breath, worship the One. leh jaa-ay man kee chind — and the worry of your mind will lift.
Worry is a kind of forgetting. The mind keeps replaying a scary movie of what might happen. Remembering the One stops the movie. It brings you back to right now, and to a One you can trust.
The advice is gentle, tied to the breath. So the cure is always close. You are never more than one breath from turning back.
The next time worry starts rehearsing, could one conscious breath of turning back interrupt it?
