The Guru Whispered It Into My Ear

ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਪੂਰਿ ਰਹੇ ਸੁਖ ਸਾਗਰ ਭੈ ਭੰਜਨ ਮੇਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਾਨ ॥
ghat ghat poor rahay sukh saagar bhai bhanjan mayray paraan.
He is pervading and permeating each and every heart; He is the Ocean of Peace, the Destroyer of fear. He is my praanaa - the Breath of Life.
ਮਨਹਿ ਪ੍ਰਗਾਸੁ ਭਇਓ ਭ੍ਰਮੁ ਨਾਸਿਓ ਮੰਤ੍ਰੁ ਦੀਓ ਗੁਰ ਕਾਨ ॥੧॥
maneh pargaas bha-i-o bharam naasi-o mantar dee-o gur kaan. ||1||
My mind was enlightened, and my doubt was dispelled, when the Guru whispered His Mantra into my ears. ||1||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The One fills each and every heart. The One is an ocean of peace, the breaker of fear, my very breath of life.

My mind filled with light and my doubt ran away when the Guru whispered the mantra into my ear.

The One is closer than fear — as close as your own breath.
The deeper layer

The One fills every heart and is as close as your breath, and one word from the Guru lights up the mind.

Ghat ghat poor rahay sukh saagar: filling each heart, an ocean of peace. Bhai bhanjan mayray paraan: the breaker of fear, my breath of life. Maneh pargaas bha-i-o bharam naasi-o: my mind lit up and doubt ran away. Mantar dee-o gur kaan: the Guru whispered the mantra into my ear, the way you share a secret with someone close.

A Question to Sit With

What helps your mind feel calm and clear when worry creeps in?
