Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
That child grew into someone so steady inside that nothing could shake him -- calm, unafraid, at home in himself -- and everyone around was amazed.
Nanak says, the One who guards those who love Him is near. Trust it: that One is right here, close beside you.
The one who loves becomes fearless, and the One is close.
Achal amar nirbhai pad paa-i-o — he reached a state that is steady, lasting, and fearless. Nirbhai means without fear. Jagat jaahi hairaano — the whole world was amazed.
Naanak kahat bhagat rachhak har — Nanak says, the One protects those who love. Nikat taahi tum maano — believe it, the One is close to you. Nikat means near.
This is a comforting ending. It is about nearness and care, not judgment. Think of a lighthouse keeper watching the boats at night. The keeper is always there. You only need to look toward the light.
What helps you feel steady when things around you feel wobbly?
