Hearing this, all my fears have been dispelled; O Nanak, God is the Primal Being, the Creator Lord. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In plain words
Resting my mind in the One's true home, I find real honor and worth.
Meeting the kind Teacher, I sing the One who never fades — the Beloved of my very breath.
Good days have come: the One who knows my heart from within has held me close. Inside, the music of truth and contentment plays, a soundless melody rings, and hearing it, all my fears fall away.
When the One holds you close, fear simply falls away.
The deeper layer
subh divas aa-ay — good days have come, a note of arrival and relief. geh kanth laa-ay: the tender image of being hugged close by the antarjaamee, the One who knows the heart from inside. sat santokh vajeh vaajay — truth and contentment themselves become instruments playing the anhad, unstruck melody: inner well-being felt as music. Fear dissolves in that hearing.
A Question to Sit With
What is a moment when everything suddenly felt like it was going to be okay?
