ਪ੍ਰਿਉ ਅਪਨਾ ਗੁਰਿ ਬਸਿ ਕਰਿ ਦੀਨਾ ਭੋਗਉ ਭੋਗ ਨਿਸੰਗਾ ॥
pari-o apnaa gur bas kar deenaa bhoga-o bhog nisangaa.
The Guru has brought my Beloved under my control, and I enjoy Him with unrestrained pleasure.
ਨਿਰਭਉ ਭਏ ਨਾਨਕ ਭਉ ਮਿਟਿਆ ਹਰਿ ਪਾਇਓ ਪਾਠੰਗਾ ॥੨॥੭॥੩੦॥
nirbha-o bha-ay naanak bha-o miti-aa har paa-i-o faathangaa. ||2||7||30||
I have become fearless; O Nanak, my fears have been eradicated. Chanting the Word, I have found the Lord. ||2||7||30||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Guru drew my Beloved near, and now I share every moment with the One, freely and gladly.
Nanak says, I have become fearless and my fear is wiped away, because I have found the One.
Real love makes you fearless.
The Guru drew the Beloved close, and now the seeker lives in unbroken nearness. The keyword is nirbhau, fearless — the very word from the opening verse of the Guru Granth Sahib. Bhau miti-aa, fear is erased, because the heart has found what it loves. Love casts out fear.
A Question to Sit With
When you feel loved and safe, how does your fear change?
