Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
By the kindness of the wise, the One became my healer — the doer behind everything, the cause of all causes.
The One gives deep peace to simple, open hearts. That's what holds me up.
The shabad closes by naming the One "the Cause of causes" (karan kaaran) — the source behind every source. But the tender phrase is "the Giver of perfect peace to the innocent-minded people" (bholay bhaa-ay, the simple-hearted). Peace here isn't a prize for the clever or the accomplished; it's given to the open — those humble and trusting enough to receive it. It's a quietly egalitarian ending: the deepest healing goes not to the sophisticated but to the sincere.
Why might a simple, trusting heart receive peace more easily than a clever, guarded one?
