I have entered Your Sanctuary, O Perfect Lord of Mercy.

chhoot jaa-ay sansaar tay raakhai gopaal. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Those whom You preserve and protect, O Lord of the Universe, are saved from the trap of the world. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I have come into Your shelter, One of perfect mercy.
Whoever You protect, Keeper of the world, slips free from the world's trap.
Coming to a place of shelter is itself the first step to safety.
Ta-o sarnaagat maadhvay, pooran da-i-aal — entering the refuge; chhoot jaa-ay sansaar tay, raakhai gopaal — the protected slip free of the world's traps. Everything turns toward shelter.
A Question to Sit With
Where do you go, or who do you go to, when you need shelter?
