Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Perfect True Guru has given me the Naam.
I am blessed with joy and happiness, with freedom, and with a peace that lasts forever. All my tangled tasks have come out right.
The Naam brings joy, and life comes into order.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. It is sung again and again like a chorus. It says satgur poorai naam dee-aa: the perfect Guru gave me the Naam.
Then good things pile up: anad mangal kali-aan sadaa sukh. That means bliss, joy, well-being and lasting peace. Guru Arjan loves this kind of overflowing list. Finally, kaaraj saglaa raas thee-aa: all my affairs came right. Think of a seed in good soil. Once it is planted, a whole garden grows. Once the Naam is planted, life comes into order.
What is one thing you could plant in your daily life that might grow into more calm?
