Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Every fear has lifted now.

Whoever I longed for, the teaching led me straight to -- the One who is King, the treasure of all that is good.

The ache of longing can be the very thing that leads you home.
The deeper layer

This is the Rahau Doojaa, a second pause that seals the shabad with resolution. The storm of the opening has passed; jo chaahat so guroo milaa-i-o -- what the heart sought, it was led to find. Longing has become reunion.

A Question to Sit With

Has missing something ever led you back to it in a new and deeper way?
