The Divine Circle of Protection
Guru Arjan Dev Ji blesses (SGGS 819):
ਬਿਲਾਵਲੁ ਮਹਲਾ ੫
ਤਾਤੀ ਵਾਉ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਸਰਣਾਈ ॥ ਚਉਗਿਰਦ ਹਮਾਰੈ ਰਾਮ ਕਾਰ ਦੁਖੁ ਲਗੈ ਨ ਭਾਈ ॥ (ਪੰਨਾ 819}
The woes of the elements (heat/cold) do not affect those who enjoy the Supreme Lord’s protection. They are surrounded by the wall of Lord’s Love and Protection. Pain will not afflict them.
Guru Arjan Dev Ji continues:
ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰਾ ਭੇਟਿਆ ਜਿਨਿ ਬਣਤ ਬਣਾਈ ॥ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਅਉਖਧੁ ਦੀਆ ਏਕਾ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
I’ve met the True Guru, accomplished in all the sublime attributes of the Celestial World. He has conferred upon me the boon of Naam, the panacea of all our woes and ills. The power of Naam keeps my mind and spirit focused on the One (Ik Onkar). Pause.
ਰਾਖਿ ਲੀਏ ਤਿਨਿ ਰਖਨਹਾਰਿ ਸਭ ਬਿਆਧਿ ਮਿਟਾਈ ॥ ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਭਈ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਏ ਸਹਾਈ ॥
The Merciful Lord has rescued me and eradicated all traces of worldly and spiritual ills. Says Nanak, I am blessed, the Lord has bestowed upon me the gift of His shelter and support.
It is imperative, therefore, that we listen to SGGS, our only Guru and stop chasing rainbows projected by self appointed god-men.
SGGS is the treasure of spiritual knowledge, the divine ship to ferry us across the stormy ocean, here and beyond, through the various realms to the Realm of Sach Khand, to be one with the Nirankar (the Formless Lord).
