Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is the true Healer.
The healers of this world cannot heal the soul; they only leave it carrying more pain.
The Guru's Shabad is sweet nectar, delicious to take in.
Nanak says: whoever's mind is filled with this nectar — all their pains are wiped away.
The One as the true physician (vaid), and the Shabad as sweet nectar-medicine. The "physicians of the world" are those who offer worldly cures for the soul's sickness; doctors who care for the body are not being dismissed — when you are ill, they are a gift. The ache of separation from the One is a deeper hurt that needs a deeper cure. A mind filled with that nectar finds its pains dispelled — the Name as medicine.
What helps when you are hurting in a way a bandage cannot fix?
