Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Inner-knower, who knows every heart, lives in everyone. So why should I be afraid, brothers and sisters?
The One, my helper and support, is always with me and never leaves. I see the One everywhere.
When we know the One is always with us, fear loses its grip.
Antarjaamee sabh meh vartai: the antarjaamee, the Inner-knower who knows every heart, lives in everyone. So, bha-o kaisaa bhaa-ee: why be afraid, brothers and sisters?
This courage is the peace of knowing the One is here and stays. The Mool Mantar, the opening lines of Gurbani, calls the One nirbhau, free of fear.
Sang sahaa-ee chhod na jaa-ee: my helper is always with me and never goes away. Picture a small child in a dark hallway, holding a parent's hand. The hallway is just as dark, but the fear is gone.
The verse ends: I see the One in every place. Fear feeds on feeling alone. Seeing the One everywhere takes that loneliness away.
What helps your fear shrink when you're scared?
