ਜਿਹ ਸਿਮਰਨਿ ਨਾਹੀ ਨਨਕਾਰੁ ॥
jih simran naahee nankaar.
Remembering Him in meditation, you will meet with no obstruction.
ਮੁਕਤਿ ਕਰੈ ਉਤਰੈ ਬਹੁ ਭਾਰੁ ॥
mukat karai utrai baho bhaar.
You will be liberated, and the great load will be taken away.
ਨਮਸਕਾਰੁ ਕਰਿ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਮਾਹਿ ॥
namaskaar kar hirdai maahi.
Bow in humility within your heart,
ਫਿਰਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਤੇਰਾ ਆਵਨੁ ਨਾਹਿ ॥੨॥
fir fir tayraa aavan naahi. ||2||
and you will not have to be reincarnated over and over again. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When you hold the One in mind, nothing blocks your way.
You are set free, and the great load is lifted off.
Bow low inside your heart,
and you will not have to be born again and again.
Gratitude and remembering can lift a weight you did not know you were carrying.
Remembrance clears the road (no obstruction) and lifts the load (baho bhaar utrai) — the weight of worry and ego. 'Bow within your heart' is inner humility. And the endless circling back is gently set aside.
A Question to Sit With
What is a heavy load you would love to set down?
