Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
For a long time I was tangled in things that pulled me down. You reached in and drew me free, and being close to you, my thinking cleared like muddy water going still.
For so long I forgot where I came from, and I wandered, lost. Now every breath I take carries the song of the One — in and out, all of it remembering.
The One pulls us free from old tangles, and then every breath becomes a song.
Bikh-ee means the poison of harmful habits. The verse says we carried them janam janam, through life after life. Sumat means clear, good understanding. It comes from sang, being in the One's company. Think of muddy water in a jar. Leave it still, and it clears.
Saas saas means "breath by breath." Remembering the One stops being a chore. It becomes the rhythm of being alive, as natural as breathing in and out.
What is one thing you do so often it happens without thinking — and could remembering the One become like that?
