Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O Nanak — instruct your mind through the word of the Guru's teaching and praise the Lord.
Those saturated with the love of the Name are not weighed down by doubt. They travel light.
Those who chant the Name earn great profits. The Fearless One lives inside their minds.
The closing pauri resolves the shabad economically: the laahaa (profit) earned by those who chant the Name is the greatest return possible. They are not bhulay (confused, lost in doubt) — they move through life with clarity and inner freedom.
Nirbhau (Fearless) — one of the first attributes in the Mool Mantar — now lives inside the mind of the Name-chanter. What was described as the nature of the divine has become an experienced quality of the aligned soul.
What does it feel like when you're not doubting yourself — when you just know you're on the right track? What creates that feeling?
