ਚਰਨ ਕਮਲ ਧਿਆਨ ਭੀਤਰਿ ਘਟਿ ਘਟਹਿ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਸੁਝੈ ॥
charan kamal Dhi-aan bheetar ghat ghateh su-aamee sujhai.
Meditating on His Lotus Feet deep within, one realizes the Lord and Master in each and every heart.
ਸਰਨਿ ਦੇਵ ਅਪਾਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਬਹੁਰਿ ਜਮੁ ਨਹੀ ਲੁਝੈ ॥੨॥੭॥੧੫॥
saran dayv apaar naanak bahur jam nahee lujhai. ||2||7||15||
In the Sanctuary of the Divine, Infinite Lord, Nanak shall never again be tortured by the Messenger of Death. ||2||7||15||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When I meditate quietly on the One deep inside me, I begin to sense that same One living in every heart.
Resting in that endless, shining presence, the old fear of death loosens its hold, and I am no longer afraid.
Sensing the One in every heart quietly dissolves our deepest fears.
Charan kamal (lotus feet) is the divine presence one gently focuses on within. The source promises freedom from “the Messenger of Death”; for children this frightening figure is set aside and the real gift kept — the dissolving of the fear of death itself, once the heart rests in the Infinite. Ghat ghat: the One is in each and every heart.
A Question to Sit With
What is a fear that feels smaller when you remember you are part of something vast?
