Keep something true in mind and the fog lifts off your thinking like sunrise — whatever comes, you can meet it as good.
The Arc
Remember the Naam, and your wrongs are wiped away. The Guru gives you the Naam as wealth to start with. People who serve have a beauty about them. Remember the Naam, brothers and sisters. Sickness and wrongs ease. The fog of not-knowing lifts off your mind like mist at sunrise. Fall in love with the Naam, and old suffering lifts. Whatever pleases the One is good. Be grateful for the Guru who helps you remember. Meeting the Guru tunes you to the One, like a string tuned to a note. The One knows every heart from inside. You can rest in the One's shelter. At the centre, the Rahao: remember the Naam, and the darkness of not-knowing leaves your mind.
Key Vocabulary
Bhaa-ee — siblings; the egalitarian address, everyone family. Agi-aan anDhayraa — the darkness of ignorance, lifting like fog at dawn. Jo tis bhaavai so bhal hos — whatever pleases the One is good; the acceptance of Hukam. Raam liv laagee — attuned, absorbed in the One, like a tuned string. Antarjaamee — the inner-knower.
Themes and Cross-Connections
P2's "whatever pleases Him is good" is Hukam, the flow of existence — felt as trust. The dawn imagery of the rahau (fog burning off at sunrise) belongs especially to this raag. "Antarjaamee" (P4) carries the intimacy of being fully known and still welcomed.
For Raag Prabhaatee
Prabhaatee is the raag of daybreak, and this shabad leans into it: the lifting of mental fog is imagined as literal sunrise. The tuned-string image for "raam liv laagee" (P3) gives a concrete picture of being attuned.
