Verse 2 of 9

Grace Is the Rescue

ਬਾਬਾ ਜਗੁ ਫਾਥਾ ਮਹਾ ਜਾਲਿ ॥
baabaa jag faathaa mahaa jaal.
O Baba, the world is caught in the great noose.
ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਉਬਰੇ ਸਚਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਮਾਲਿ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
gur parsaadee ubray sachaa naam samaal. ||1|| rahaa-o.
By Guru's Grace, they are saved, contemplating the True Name. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

O Baba, the whole world is caught in a great net.

By the Guru's grace, those who hold on to the True Naam come out free.

By the Guru's grace, the Naam sets you free.
The deeper layer

The rahao. Jag faathaa mahaa jaal, the world caught in the great net, is answered at once by gur parsaadee ubray, saved by grace, which is always present and received rather than earned.
