Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Maybe you are troubled by great worry, and your body is sick.
You are wrapped up in your home and family. Sometimes you feel joy, and sometimes sorrow.
You wander in all four directions. You cannot sit or sleep, even for a moment.
If you then remember the Supreme Lord God, your body and mind shall be cooled and soothed.
This one says that when your mind is racing and you cannot rest, remembering the One brings cool calm.
The third hard time is inside. Chintaa bahut bahut: lots and lots of worry. The body is unwell too. You cannot rest. Gharhee na baisan so-ay: you cannot sit or sleep for even a moment. This is not a big disaster. It is the everyday tiredness of a life that cannot find peace.
Garisat kutamb palayti-aa kaday harakh kaday sog: wrapped up in home and family, "sometimes joy, sometimes sorrow." This is true for every family person. You love your family deeply. So their joy becomes your joy, and their pain becomes your pain. The love that makes life full can also make it hurt. The word for this is moh. It is not bad love. It is love that holds on very tight.
Tan man seetal ho-ay: "body and mind become cool and calm." Seetal is like cool water on a hot day. The answer is not to leave home or let go of the people you love. It is a new way to hold them. The One does not take away what you love. The One gives you steady ground under it, like solid floor under a room full of moving people.
What is the anxiety you carry most often — and what, if anything, has genuinely soothed it? Not distracted you from it, but actually soothed it?
