Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One set the many worlds and skies in place. Every soul is lit by that same Light.
No one can cancel the blessing the One gives. So hold it, hold it in mind — and become fearless.
The same Light that holds up all the worlds is shining inside you.
The shabad began with the One who protects the unprotected. Now the view grows huge. That same One Dhaaray — holds up — the many worlds and skies. Then it comes right back close. Jaa kee jot jee-a pargaas: that Light is what lights up your own soul. It is like one power station lighting a whole city, down to the lamp by your bed.
Jaa kee bakhas na maytai ko-ay — no one can erase the One's blessing. That is very comforting. Once grace is given, no one's judgment can take it back. The result is nirbha-o, fearless. Fearless is one of the qualities named in the Mool Mantar, the opening words of all of Gurbani, the Guru's Word.
If the same light were shining in every person you meet today, how might you treat them?
