Verse 3 of 5

With the Greatest on Your Side, Fear No Lesser Thing

ਦੂਜਾ ਨਾਹੀ ਅਉਰੁ ਕੋ ਤਾ ਕਾ ਭਉ ਕਰੀਐ ॥
doojaa naahee a-or ko taa kaa bha-o karee-ai.
There is no other whom I should fear.
ਗੁਰ ਸੇਵਾ ਮਹਲੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਜਗੁ ਦੁਤਰੁ ਤਰੀਐ ॥੨॥
gur sayvaa mahal paa-ee-ai jag dutar taree-ai. ||2||
Serving the Guru, the Mansion of the Lord's Presence is obtained, and the impassable world-ocean is crossed over. ||2||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

There is no other I need fear.

Serving the Guru, the Mansion of His Presence is found, and the impassable world-ocean is crossed.

With the greatest One on your side, no lesser thing is left to fear.
The deeper layer

Fearlessness from belonging: "there is no other whom I should fear". With the greatest as Master, no lesser power frightens, and serving the Guru carries the soul across the impassable ocean.

A Question to Sit With

What fear loosens when you remember who backs you?
