Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:
ਮਨਿ ਤਨਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਆਰਾਧੀਐ ਮਿਲਿ ਸਾਧ ਸਮਾਗੈ ॥
man tan parabh aaraaDhee-ai mil saaDh samaagai.
Worship and adore God in your mind and body; join the Company of the Holy.
ਉਚਰਤ ਗੁਨ ਗੋਪਾਲ ਜਸੁ ਦੂਰ ਤੇ ਜਮੁ ਭਾਗੈ ॥੧॥
uchrat gun gopaal jas door tay jam bhaagai. ||1||
Chanting the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe, the Messenger of Death runs far away. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Worship God with your whole mind and body, and join the Sangat.
When your mouth fills with praise, even the fear of death backs far away.
Praise sends even the biggest fear running.
Praise makes fear run away.
Man tan parabh aaraadhee-ai: love the One with your mind and body. Mil saadh samaagai: join the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One.
Then uchrat gun gopaal jas: as we sing the goodness of Gopaal, the Keeper of the world. Door tay jam bhaagai: jam is the messenger of death, and he runs far away. So even the fear of death backs off. Think of a dark hallway that stops feeling scary the moment you start singing with a friend.
