ਚਿਤਵਤਾ ਗੋਪਾਲ ਦਰਸਨ ਕਲਮਲਾ ਕਢੁ ਧੋਇ ॥
chitvataa gopaal darsan kalmalaa kadh Dho-ay.
Just by thinking of the Darshan, the Blessed Vision of the Lord of the World, the dirty sins are washed away.
ਜਨਮ ਮਰਨ ਬਿਕਾਰ ਅੰਕੁਰ ਹਰਿ ਕਾਟਿ ਛਾਡੇ ਖੋਇ ॥੧॥
janam maran bikaar ankur har kaat chhaaday kho-ay. ||1||
The Lord cuts down and weeds out the corruption of the cycle of birth and death. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Even just thinking of the One washes the dust right off you.
Like a gardener, the One reaches in and pulls out the tangled roots of the same old troubles that keep growing back again and again.
The One weeds out the root of a trouble, not just its leaf.
A single thought of the Vision washes off the dust, and the One weeds out the tangled roots (bikaar ankur) that keep a life spinning in the same troubles. The gardener pulls the root, not just the leaf.
A Question to Sit With
What is a habit that keeps growing back, that you wish were pulled out by the root?
