ik oankaar sat naam karataa purakh nirbhau niravair akaal moorat ajoonee saibhan gur prasaad |
One Universal Creator God. Truth Is The Name. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying. Beyond Birth. Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace:
ਭਉ ਮੁਚੁ ਭਾਰਾ ਵਡਾ ਤੋਲੁ ॥
bhau much bhaaraa vaddaa tol |
The Fear of God is overpowering, and so very heavy,
ਮਨ ਮਤਿ ਹਉਲੀ ਬੋਲੇ ਬੋਲੁ ॥
man mat haulee bole bol |
while the intellect is lightweight, as is the speech one speaks.
ਸਿਰਿ ਧਰਿ ਚਲੀਐ ਸਹੀਐ ਭਾਰੁ ॥
sir dhar chaleeai saheeai bhaar |
So place the Fear of God upon your head, and bear that weight;
ਨਦਰੀ ਕਰਮੀ ਗੁਰ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ॥੧॥

by the Grace of the Merciful Lord, contemplate the Guru. ||1||

The fire of fear within the body is burnt away by the Fear of God.

Useless is the mold, and useless are the hammer-strokes on the mold. ||2||
ਬੁਧੀ ਬਾਜੀ ਉਪਜੈ ਚਾਉ ॥
budhee baajee upajai chaau |
The desire for the worldly drama arises in the intellect,
ਸਹਸ ਸਿਆਣਪ ਪਵੈ ਨ ਤਾਉ ॥
sehas siaanap pavai na taau |
but even with thousands of clever mental tricks, the heat of the Fear of God does not come into play.
ਨਾਨਕ ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਬੋਲਣੁ ਵਾਉ ॥
naanak manamukh bolan vaau |
O Nanak, the speech of the self-willed manmukh is just wind.
ਅੰਧਾ ਅਖਰੁ ਵਾਉ ਦੁਆਉ ॥੩॥੧॥
