ਜਿਸੁ ਰਾਖੈ ਆਪਿ ਰਾਮੁ ਦਇਆਰਾ ॥
jis raakhai aap raam da-i-aaraa.
One who is protected by the Merciful Lord
ਤਿਸੁ ਨਹੀ ਦੂਜਾ ਕੋ ਪਹੁਚਨਹਾਰਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
tis nahee doojaa ko pahuchanhaaraa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
- no one else can rival him. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whoever the merciful One protects -- no one can stand against them.
The one the One protects cannot be overcome by anyone.
The Rahao: divine protection is absolute -- the one the One guards is unrivaled (cf. the tongue among teeth; the One guards its servant). Security rests not in your own strength but in being held.
A Question to Sit With
When have you felt truly protected, beyond your own ability to protect yourself?
