ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਛੂਟੈ ਜਾਂ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਭੇਟੈ ॥
ih man chhootai jaaN satgur bhaytai.
This mind is released, only when it meets with the True Guru.
ਜਮਕਾਲ ਕੀ ਫਿਰਿ ਆਵੈ ਨ ਫੇਟੈ ॥੩॥
jamkaal kee fir aavai na faytai. ||3||
Then, it does not suffer beatings by the Messenger of Death. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
This mind is set free when it meets the True Guru.
Then death's blows no longer come for it.
A tangled heart can be set completely free.
Meet the True Guru, and the mind is set free, even from the fear of death.
Chhootai: released. Satgur bhaytai: meeting the True Guru. Jamkaal kee faytai: the blows of death; jam is death's messenger. Once the mind is free, death loses its grip on it.
A Question to Sit With
What is a fear that loosened its grip once you were not alone with it?
