ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਤ ਸੋਊ ਜਨੁ ਉਧਰੈ ਜਿਸਹਿ ਉਧਾਰਹੁ ਆਪ ॥
naam japat so-oo jan uDhrai jisahi uDhaarahu aap.
That humble being is saved, who chants the Naam; You Yourself save him.
ਬਿਨਸਿ ਜਾਇ ਮੋਹ ਭੈ ਭਰਮਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਸੰਤ ਪ੍ਰਤਾਪ ॥੨॥੫॥੪੪॥
binas jaa-ay moh bhai bharmaa naanak sant partaap. ||2||5||44||
Emotional attachment, fear and doubt are dispelled, O Nanak, by the Grace of the Saints. ||2||5||44||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The humble one who repeats the Naam is saved; You Yourself save that one.
Nanak says: clinging, fear and doubt melt away by the grace of the saints.
You are not lifted by your own strength alone — grace and the saints carry you.
Repeat the Naam and you are lifted, and the One does the lifting; clinging, fear and doubt fade by the grace of the saints.
Naam japat so-oo jan uDhrai: the one who repeats the Naam is saved. Jisahi uDhaarahu aap: You Yourself do the saving. Binas jaa-ay moh bhai bharmaa: clinging, fear and doubt melt away. Sant partaap: by the grace and shining goodness of the saints.
Think of fog over a field in the morning. When the sun comes up, it simply melts.
