Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
All concerns are false except the concern for the One.
Nanak, blessed are those who are in love with the true One.
A clarifying line about worry: "all concerns are false, except those of the One Lord." Most of what we fret over — the countless anxieties of a day — is, Guru Arjan says, ultimately false, concern about the passing dream-stuff. The one "concern" worth having is for the One. This is not a counsel to be careless about real responsibilities; it is a reordering of what deserves the weight of your worry. So much anxiety is spent on what won't matter; the one thing worth the heart's real attention is the One. And "blessed are those in love with the True Lord" — the ones who have gotten their concerns in the right order.
How much of your daily worry is about things that won't matter in the end? What would be worth caring about that deeply?
