Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Nanak says these true words, plain for everyone to see.
Those who take shelter with the One live without fear — nothing frightening has any hold on them.
Those who live in the One's shelter are free of fear. Sat bachan naanak kahai pargat sabh maahi — Nanak speaks true words, plain for everyone to see.
Then: prabh kay sayvak saran prabh tin ka-o bha-o naahi — God's servants live in God's shelter, and they have no fear at all. In Sikh teaching the One is called Nirbhau, the Fearless One. Those who stay close begin to share that.
Think of a small child walking down a dark hall, holding a parent's hand. The hall is just as dark, but the fear is gone. The shabad closes on a heart with no room left for fear.
What makes you feel brave when you are afraid?
