Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When the heart finally rests in a calm, fearless dignity, its aches and troubles quietly fall away.
Turning from the endless chase outside, I found this deep gladness within — and it fills me completely.
A fearless heart leaves its troubles behind.
Abhai pad is the fearless place, a calm dignity inside. When a heart rests there, taap tah naasay: its pains run away.
Ubat chalantay means turning away from the world. It is not turning away from life. It is turning from wanting more and more outside, toward fullness inside. Think of a kid who stops begging for the newest gadget and finds joy in building something.
The "wine" comes back one last time. It is the gladness of a heart that has found the One. Kabir signs beechaaree, meaning after careful thought. So this gladness is thought through, not a passing mood.
What does it feel like to be genuinely unafraid and at ease?
