The Perfect Lord, our Protector and Savior, is the Ocean of Peace. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
With Your support, I celebrate with joy.
With Your support, I chant the Guru's mantra, the words that steady me.
With Your support, I cross the frightening ocean of the world.
The perfect Protector is an ocean of peace.
Even a wide, rough sea can be crossed with the right support.
Leaning on the One, you can be joyful and cross even the scariest waters of life.
Bha-o saagar: the ocean of fear, a picture Gurbani often uses for how hard life can feel. Gur mant: the Guru's mantra. Sukh saagar: the ocean of peace. The One who protects you is that ocean of peace, waiting on the far side of the ocean of fear.
A Question to Sit With
What is a big, scary thing that felt possible once someone was crossing it with you?
