Sorat'h, Fifth Mehl:
ਵਿਚਿ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਖਲੋਆ ॥
vich kartaa purakh khalo-aa.
The Creator Lord Himself stood between us,
ਵਾਲੁ ਨ ਵਿੰਗਾ ਹੋਆ ॥
vaal na vingaa ho-aa.
and not a hair upon my head was touched.
ਮਜਨੁ ਗੁਰ ਆਂਦਾ ਰਾਸੇ ॥
majan gur aaNdaa raasay.
The Guru made my cleansing bath successful;
ਜਪਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਕਿਲਵਿਖ ਨਾਸੇ ॥੧॥
jap har har kilvikh naasay. ||1||
meditating on the Lord, Har, Har, my sins were erased. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Maker Himself stood in the way of harm, and not a single hair of mine was touched.
The teacher made my washing-clean complete; holding the One in mind, the old marks washed away.
To be truly kept safe is to come through with not a hair harmed.
Vaal na vingaa ho-aa -- not a hair was bent; a vivid picture of complete protection. Majan... aandaa raasay -- the inner cleansing was brought to success; safety and inner washing pictured together.
A Question to Sit With
