Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Keep remembering the True Naam of your Beloved.
The pains and sorrows of the frightening ocean of the world fade away when you keep the Guru's image living in your heart.
Remember the True Naam and keep the Guru in your heart, and the world's fears lose their size.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Pareetam saachaa naam dhi-aa-ay: remember the True Naam of your Beloved. Bhav saagar is the world-ocean, wide and stormy, a big crossing that can feel scary.
Gur kee moorat ridai basaa-ay: keep the Guru's image in your heart. That means the Guru's living presence, held inside you, steady as an anchor in rough water.
What steadies you when something ahead feels big or scary?
