Millions Lifted In An Instant

ਸਿਮਰਤ ਨਾਮੁ ਮਨਹਿ ਸਾਧਾਰੈ ॥
simrat naam maneh saDhaarai.
Meditate in remembrance on the Naam, the Support of the mind.
ਕੋਟਿ ਪਰਾਧੀ ਖਿਨ ਮਹਿ ਤਾਰੈ ॥੧॥
kot paraaDhee khin meh taarai. ||1||
Millions of sinners are carried across in an instant. ||1||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Remember the Naam; it is the support of the mind.

Millions of people who have done wrong are carried across in an instant.

Even in a single moment, anyone can be lifted and carried across.
The deeper layer

Remembering the Naam steadies your mind, and it carries anyone across in a moment.

Simrat naam maneh saDhaarai: remembering the Naam holds the mind up, like a handrail on a steep stair. Kot paraaDhee: millions who have done wrong. Khin meh taarai: carried across in an instant. The rescue is huge, and it is quick.

A Question to Sit With

What is something that steadied you right when you needed it most?
