Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:
ਭੈ ਤੇ ਉਪਜੈ ਭਗਤਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਹੋਇ ਸਾਂਤਿ ॥
bhai tay upjai bhagat parabh antar ho-ay saaNt.
From the Fear of God, devotion wells up, and deep within, there is peace.
ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਤ ਗੋਵਿੰਦ ਕਾ ਬਿਨਸੈ ਭ੍ਰਮ ਭ੍ਰਾਂਤਿ ॥੧॥
naam japat govind kaa binsai bharam bharaaNt. ||1||
Chanting the Name of the Lord of the Universe, doubt and delusions are dispelled. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Out of a deep awe of the One, love and devotion well up, and inside there is a great calm.
Keeping the Name in mind, the fog of doubt and confusion clears away.
Awe of the One opens you into love.
Bhai tay upjai bhagat — here bhai is reverent awe, not terror; from that awe devotion rises; antar ho-ay saant — inner peace; naam japat govind kaa, binsai bharam bharaant — doubt clearing. Awe opens into love and calm.
A Question to Sit With
What fills you with awe in a way that makes you feel bigger, not smaller?
