ਕਰੈ ਅਨੁਗ੍ਰਹੁ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਮੇਰਾ ਸਾਧ ਚਰਨ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਈਐ ॥
karai anoograhu su-aamee mayraa saaDh charan chit laa-ee-ai.
When my Lord and Master shows His Mercy, we lovingly focus our consciousness on the feet of the Holy.
ਸੰਕਟ ਘੋਰ ਕਟੇ ਖਿਨ ਭੀਤਰਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਦਰਸਿ ਸਮਾਈਐ ॥੨॥੨੨॥
sankat ghor katay khin bheetar naanak har daras samaa-ee-ai. ||2||22||
The most horrible agonies are dispelled in an instant, O Nanak, and we merge in the Blessed Vision of the Lord. ||2||22||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When the Master shows mercy, we fix our love on the feet of the good.
The worst agonies lift in an instant, Nanak says, and we merge in the sight of the One.
The long weeping ends not by trying harder but by grace opening the door — and then relief comes suddenly.
The close resolves the anguish of P0–P1 with mercy: when the One "shows His Mercy," the person is drawn to good company, and "the most horrible agonies are dispelled in an instant." The long wandering and weeping ends not by trying harder but by grace opening the door to the Sangat. Relief comes suddenly, once the door is opened.
A Question to Sit With
What long-carried agony would you love to see lift 'in an instant' once the right door opened?
