Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When you listen to the Naam, a clean, steady strength grows in you, and the old fears about ending lose their power to frighten you. Listen, and a light switches on inside your heart, and the darkness there simply clears.
Deep listening helps you understand your own self, and that understanding is the profit of a life. Old mistakes fall away, and you come face to face with what is pure and true. Nanak says: listen like this, and your face shines. Face the Guru and hold the Naam close.
Pauri 8, Suniai sequence. The messenger of death does not come near (jam nayrh na aavai): the fear of ending loses its grip. The heart is illumined (ghat chaannaa), self-knowledge is the true profit (aap bujhee-ai, laahaa), old mistakes fall away (paap katee-ah), and the face grows radiant (mukh ujlay). Deep listening leads to fearlessness and self-understanding.
What is one thing about yourself you understand better now than you used to?
