Sikhism·Raag Aasaa·Shabad 170
Verse 3 of 5

Backed by the Infinite, No Power Stands Against You

ਜਾ ਕਾ ਧਨੀ ਅਗਮ ਗੁਸਾਈ ॥
jaa kaa Dhanee agam gusaa-ee.
One who has the Unfathomable Lord of the Universe as his Master
ਮਾਨੁਖ ਕੀ ਕਹੁ ਕੇਤ ਚਲਾਈ ॥੨॥
maanukh kee kaho kayt chalaa-ee. ||2||
- how can any mere mortal stand up to him? ||2||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The one whose Master is the Unfathomable One —

what mere mortal could ever stand against him?

Backed by the Infinite, no merely human power can stand against you.
The deeper layer

The security of powerful backing: "how can any mere mortal stand up to him?" The soul whose Master is "the Unfathomable Lord" is beyond the reach of any worldly opposition. No human power outranks the One who backs the devotee (cf. Shabad 112).

A Question to Sit With

What would you stop fearing if you knew the Infinite stood behind you?
