ਹਰਿ ਜਨ ਹਰਿ ਜਸੁ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਗਾਇਓ ਉਪਦੇਸਿ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੁਰ ਸੁਨੇ ॥
har jan har jas har har gaa-i-o updays guroo gur sunay.
The Lord's humble servant sings the Praises of the Lord, Har, Har, listening to the Guru's Teachings.
ਕਿਲਬਿਖ ਪਾਪ ਨਾਮ ਹਰਿ ਕਾਟੇ ਜਿਵ ਖੇਤ ਕ੍ਰਿਸਾਨਿ ਲੁਨੇ ॥੧॥
kilbikh paap naam har kaatay jiv khayt kirsaan lunay. ||1||
The Lord's Name cuts down all sins, like the farmer cutting down his crops. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A heart that sings about the good, learning from wisdom, is set free of its tangles.
The good cuts through troubles the way a farmer cuts a ripe field — clean and complete.
The good cuts through your troubles cleanly, the way a farmer harvests a whole field.
The verse gives a homely image: the Name "cuts down all sins, like the farmer cutting down his crops." Just as a farmer clears a whole field in the harvest, remembrance clears away the tangles cleanly and completely. For a child: the good cuts through your troubles cleanly, the way a farmer harvests a whole field.
A Question to Sit With
What tangle would you love to have cleared away cleanly?
