Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One makes those who serve completely fearless, and tears away all their pain.
So set down every other scramble and plan, and plant the One's steps right in the middle of your heart.
The One takes away fear and lets us set down our many worries.
Nirbha-o kee-ay means "made fearless." Being without fear is a theme these Saarang hymns return to again and again. The One also takes away all the pain of those who serve.
Aan upaav ti-aag means "let go of all other schemes." That clears the way for charan kamal rid dhaarai, holding the lotus feet of the One in the heart. The lotus feet are a loving picture of the One's steady presence. Think of a climber clutching ten wobbly handholds at once. One strong rope is safer than all of them. The heart needs one anchor, not many props.
What is one thing you keep scrambling to control that you could try trusting instead?
