Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One became my guard, and in a single moment a deep quiet rose up and settled my mind for good.
He handed me the Name like a medicine, and it healed every sickness and set my whole life right.
Some of the best medicine is the quiet you let settle over a worried mind.
The Rahau plus verse: har har naam dee-o daaroo -- the Name given as daaroo, medicine. Like Raag Todee, Sorath can hold the Name as something that heals an anxious, feverish mind, not only an idea to admire.
A Question to Sit With
