Fifth Mehl:
ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸਿਮਰਹੁ ਆਪਣਾ ਘਟਿ ਅਵਘਟਿ ਘਟ ਘਾਟ ॥
satgur simrahu aapnaa ghat avghat ghat ghaat.
Meditate in remembrance within your heart on the True Guru, whether you are on the most difficult path, on the mountain or by the river bank.
ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪੰਤਿਆ ਕੋਇ ਨ ਬੰਧੈ ਵਾਟ ॥੨॥
har har naam japanti-aa ko-ay na banDhai vaat. ||2||
Chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, no one shall block your way. ||2||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Remember your True Guru in your heart — on the hardest road, on a steep mountain, or at the edge of a river.

Repeating the Naam of the One, Har, Har, no one can block your way.

You can carry what steadies you onto any road, anywhere.
The deeper layer

Remembrance needs no special place: mountain, riverbank, or the most difficult path, the Name goes with you and clears the way. This quietly relocates the sacred from pilgrimage-sites to the portable heart — you carry your holy ground with you.

A Question to Sit With

What helps you keep going when the road gets steep?
