ਗੁਰਿ ਕੀਨੋ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਦੁਆਰਾ ॥
gur keeno mukat du-aaraa.
The Guru has opened the door of liberation,
ਸਭ ਸ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਕਰੈ ਜੈਕਾਰਾ ॥
sabh sarisat karai jaikaaraa.
and the entire world applauds Him with cheers of victory.
ਨਾਨਕ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਮੇਰੈ ਸਾਥੇ ॥
naanak parabh mayrai saathay.
O Nanak, God is always with me;
ਜਨਮ ਮਰਣ ਭੈ ਲਾਥੇ ॥੪॥੨॥੫੨॥
janam maran bhai laathay. ||4||2||52||
my fears of birth and death are gone. ||4||2||52||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A door to freedom swung open, and it felt like the whole world was cheering.
The One is always beside me now, and my fear of being born and dying has quietly gone.
Fear loosens its grip when you feel you are not walking alone.
Mukat du-aaraa -- the door of liberation. Janam maran bhai laathay -- the fear that clings to birth and death lifts, not because those things stop, but because the One is felt as always alongside (prabh mayrai saathay).
A Question to Sit With
What feels less scary when someone you trust is right beside you?
