ਕਲੀ ਕਾਲ ਕੇ ਮਿਟੇ ਕਲੇਸਾ ॥
kalee kaal kay mitay kalaysaa.
The pains and sufferings of the Dark Age of Kali Yuga are eradicated,
ਏਕੋ ਨਾਮੁ ਮਨ ਮਹਿ ਪਰਵੇਸਾ ॥੧॥
ayko naam man meh parvaysaa. ||1||
when the One Name abides within the mind. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
This is a hard, noisy age, and so much feels tangled. Still, the troubles ease
the moment the One Name settles into your mind and makes itself at home there.
When one steady focus moves in, the tangles begin to ease.
Even in hard times, one Name in your heart makes things lighter.
Kalee kaal kay mitay kalaysaa: the troubles of kali yug, the dark age, are wiped away. The "dark age" is what it feels like when the times are hard and noisy.
Ayko naam man meh parvaysaa: when the One Name comes to live in the mind.
It is like a loud cafeteria. When you put on headphones with one calm song, the noise fades. One steady focus can quiet a whole busy world.
