Maaroo, Fifth Mehl:
ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਸਭ ਊਚ ਬਿਰਾਜੇ ॥
paarbarahm sabh ooch biraajay.
The Abode of the Supreme Lord God is above all.
ਆਪੇ ਥਾਪਿ ਉਥਾਪੇ ਸਾਜੇ ॥
aapay thaap uthaapay saajay.
He Himself establishes, establishes and creates.
ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੀ ਸਰਣਿ ਗਹਤ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਕਿਛੁ ਭਉ ਨ ਵਿਆਪੈ ਬਾਲ ਕਾ ॥੧॥
parabh kee saran gahat sukh paa-ee-ai kichh bha-o na vi-aapai baal kaa. ||1||
Holding tight to the Sanctuary of God, peace is found, and one is not afflicted by the fear of Maya. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The home of the Highest One rises above everything.
That One sets things up, takes them down, and shapes them all.
Hold tight to that shelter and a deep peace arrives, and no fear can get its grip on you.
The safest place is not far away; it is the shelter you can reach for right now.
Sanctuary comes first. 'Parabh kee saran gahat sukh paa-ee-ai': holding to the One's shelter, peace is found, and 'kichh bha-o na vi-aapai', no fear takes hold. Shelter is the keynote.
A Question to Sit With
