ਸਾਧ ਪਠਾਏ ਆਪਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਮ ਤੁਮ ਤੇ ਨਾਹੀ ਦੂਰਿ ॥
saaDh pathaa-ay aap har ham tum tay naahee door.
The Lord Himself sent His Holy Saints, to tell us that He is not far away.
ਨਾਨਕ ਭ੍ਰਮ ਭੈ ਮਿਟਿ ਗਏ ਰਮਣ ਰਾਮ ਭਰਪੂਰਿ ॥੨॥
naanak bharam bhai mit ga-ay raman raam bharpoor. ||2||
O Nanak, doubt and fear are dispelled, chanting the Name of the all-pervading Lord. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One sent the holy saints to tell us: I am not far from you.
Nanak says: doubt and fear are gone, remembering the One who fills everything.
What felt far away may have been close the whole time.
Ham tum tay naahee door — "I am not far from you" — the reassurance carried by the saadh (the holy). The whole Ruti circles this: the One only seemed distant. Bhram bhai mit ga-ay — doubt and fear are dispelled by remembrance of the all-pervading One.
A Question to Sit With
Has something you feared was distant turned out to be near?
