ਡਰ ਚੂਕੇ ਬਿਨਸੇ ਅੰਧਿਆਰੇ ॥
dar chookay binsay anDhi-aaray.
Fear has been removed, and darkness has been dispelled.
ਪ੍ਰਗਟ ਭਏ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਪੁਰਖ ਨਿਰਾਰੇ ॥
pargat bha-ay parabh purakh niraaray.
The all-powerful, primal, detached Lord God has been revealed.
ਆਪੁ ਛੋਡਿ ਪਏ ਸਰਣਾਈ ਜਿਸ ਕਾ ਸਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਘਾਲਣਾ ॥੧੪॥
aap chhod pa-ay sarnaa-ee jis kaa saa tis ghaalnaa. ||14||
Forsaking self-conceit, I have entered His Sanctuary, and I work for Him. ||14||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Fear is gone, and the darkness has lifted.
The One — all-powerful, the first, free of everything — has been revealed.
I have let go of my pride and come to the One's shelter. I belong to the One, and I work for the One.
Let go of pride, come to the One's shelter, and fear and darkness lift.
Fear ceases and darkness lifts; the free, detached One is revealed. Releasing aap — self-conceit — one enters the sanctuary and works for the One it belongs to. The ego is simply set down, and fear falls with it; nothing is punished.
A Question to Sit With
What fear gets smaller when you stop trying to look bigger than you are?
