Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Listen, friends — here is the sign that you are drawing near to the One:
you give your mind and your heart fully.
You stop arranging your whole life around what other people will think.
Here is how you can tell you are getting closer to the One.
This is the "Rahao" line, the pause line. It is the center of the whole shabad (hymn). Man tan arap taj laaj lokaanee: give your mind and body to the One, and drop laaj lokaanee, the worry about what people will think.
Picture a kid who stops dressing to look cool and starts wearing what they truly love. They didn't just get a new feeling. They changed what they live for.
That is the sign of nearness. It is not a special feeling that comes and goes. It is a change in what your life is for.
Whose opinion do you worry about most — and how much should it really steer you?
