Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Remember the Divine Guru again and again, and your fears melt away. One by one, they are simply gone.
This verse says that remembering the Guru, again and again, makes fear go away.
Simar simar gurday-o mit ga-ay bhai dooray — remembering and remembering the Gurdev, the Divine Guru, fears are wiped out and sent far away. The verse is short on purpose. It does not explain how. It just reports that it happens.
Where does fear come from? Often it comes from feeling small, separate and alone. Steady remembering of the One slowly melts that feeling of being alone. And when that goes, the fears have nothing left to hold on to. They fade, like chalk wiped gently off a board. A room that was crowded with worries slowly becomes quiet and clear.
Which fear might loosen its grip if you kept returning, gently, to what steadies you?
