Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When you rest easily in the One — no forcing, no straining — the troubles melt away. By great good fortune, love settles on the One.
Ravidas says: the One's servant stays unhooked from the world, and the fear of birth and death runs away.
Rest easily in the One, and the troubles melt away.
Sahj samaadh means natural, easy stillness. It comes without forcing or straining. Upaadh rahat — free from troubles and tangles. Baday bhaag liv laagee — by great good luck, love holds on to the One.
Udaas means detached. Here that does not mean sad or gloomy. It means unhooked from worry, like a kite that has come free of a tree branch.
Janam maran bhai bhaagee — the fear of birth and death runs away. Maaroo is a raag that often sings of death and loss. Here that fear turns all the way into peace. Ravidas says so himself.
What worry would you love to see pick up and leave?
