Nothing Left to Fear

ਅਨਭਉ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗੀ ਹਰਿ ਉਰ ਧਾਰਿਓ ਗੁਰਿ ਨਿਮਖਫਾ ॥
anbha-o har har har liv laagee har ur Dhaari-o gur nimkhafaa.
I am lovingly attuned to the Fearless Lord, Har, Har, Har; through the Guru, I have enshrined the Lord within my heart in an instant.
ਕੋਟਿ ਕੋਟਿ ਕੇ ਦੋਖ ਸਭ ਜਨ ਕੇ ਹਰਿ ਦੂਰਿ ਕੀਏ ਇਕ ਪਲਫਾ ॥੩॥
kot kot kay dokh sabh jan kay har door kee-ay ik palfaa. ||3||
Millions upon millions of the faults and mistakes of the Lord's humble servant are all taken away in an instant. ||3||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

My heart is tuned in love to the Fearless One, Har, Har, Har. Through the Guru, I placed the One in my heart in an instant.

Millions and millions of mistakes of the One's servant are all taken away in a single moment.

Closeness to the Fearless One makes your own fear grow small.
The deeper layer

Being close to the Fearless One makes your own fear grow small, and old mistakes fall away in a moment.

anbha-o har har har liv laagee — I am lovingly tuned in to the anbha-o, the One who has no fear. har ur Dhaari-o gur nimkhafaa — through the Guru, I placed the One in my heart in a moment.

kot kot kay dokh sabh jan kay — millions and millions of mistakes. har door kee-ay ik palfaa — the One takes them all away in a single instant.

Think of standing next to a calm, brave friend during a thunderstorm. Their calm spreads to you. Grace works with generous math: huge piles of mistakes, cleared in one moment.

A Question to Sit With

What is a worry or mistake that felt huge until it suddenly lifted?
