Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Letting go, letting go: how good it is to set down anger, greed, and the endless pull of wanting more.
Putting those heavy things down makes the heart light.
It is good to let go of three heavy things: wanting that runs wild, anger, and greed.
Ti-aaganaa means letting go or giving up. The word is doubled, like the others in this song. Kaam krodh lobh are three troubles that pull a heart off course. Kaam is desire that gets out of control. Krodh is anger. Lobh is greed, always grabbing for more.
This letting go is not harsh. It is not about being hard on yourself. It is the relief of putting down a heavy load. Think of taking off a backpack full of rocks after a long walk. Your shoulders feel light again.
What heavy feeling would you like to set down this week?
