Sorat'h, Fifth Mehl:
ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੀ ਸਰਣਿ ਸਗਲ ਭੈ ਲਾਥੇ ਦੁਖ ਬਿਨਸੇ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥
parabh kee saran sagal bhai laathay dukh binsay sukh paa-i-aa.
In God's Sanctuary, all fears depart, suffering disappears, and peace is obtained.
ਦਇਆਲੁ ਹੋਆ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਪੂਰਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਧਿਆਇਆ ॥੧॥
da-i-aal ho-aa paarbarahm su-aamee pooraa satgur Dhi-aa-i-aa. ||1||
When the Supreme Lord God and Master becomes merciful, we meditate on the Perfect True Guru. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In the shelter of the One, every fear lets go, the aches fade, and a real peace settles in.
When kindness turns toward us, we naturally hold the perfect teacher in mind and heart.
In real shelter, fear finally sets itself down.
Prabh kee saran sagal bhai laathay — in shelter, all fears set themselves down. The verse links two things gently: the One turning da-i-aal (kind), and our turning to meditate on the sat-gur. It is not that we earn the kindness by meditating; the kindness is always here, and turning toward it is simply how we step out of the shadow into what was already shining.
A Question to Sit With
Where, or with whom, do you feel most able to let your guard down?
