ਸੰਤਨ ਕੈ ਚਰਨ ਲਾਗੇ ਕਾਮ ਕ੍ਰੋਧ ਲੋਭ ਤਿਆਗੇ ਗੁਰ ਗੋਪਾਲ ਭਏ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਲ ਲਬਧਿ ਅਪਨੀ ਪਾਈ ॥੧॥
santan kai charan laagay kaam kroDh lobh ti-aagay gur gopaal bha-ay kirpaal labaDh apnee paa-ee. ||1||
Grasping hold of the Feet of the Saints, I have abandoned sexual desire, anger and greed. The Guru, the Lord of the World, has been kind to me, and I have realized my destiny. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Holding on to the feet of the saints, I set down the heavy things I used to carry — my grabbing, my anger, my never-enough greed.
The Guru, the Lord of the world, was kind to me, and I found what I was made for.
You find what you are for once you set down what weighs you down.
Close to the saints, craving, anger, and greed are set down (ti-aagay), and one finds what one was made for (labadh apnee paa-ee). You cannot find your purpose with your hands still full of heavy things.
A Question to Sit With
What is something heavy you would feel lighter for setting down?
