Ang 711–718
Raag Todee
The Commentary
The opening shabad of Raag Todee, and it sets the raag's keynote: the peace of the settled heart. The sant who needs no backup, sheltered under the One's high canopy, having found what is deathless (v.0); and the promise that disease, sorrow, old age and death cannot reach the fearless, surrendered center of such a person (v.1).
