Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My mind, the master of my breath, rests in the highest joy.
Now there is no death for me, no being born again, and no growing old.
A settled mind lets go of the fear of time.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Here the mind is called pavanpat, the master of the breath. It rests in unman, a deep, steady joy.
Nahee mirat na janam jaraa — no death, no birth, no growing old. From that settled place, the worries tied to time lose their grip. Growing older, things ending, not knowing what comes next.
Think of a lake on a windy day. The top is choppy, but deep down the water stays still. A heart rooted in the One is like that deep water.
What helps you feel calm about things changing?
