Sobre este Texto

Compuesto por: Guru Arjan Dev Ji · Sikh Guru (Fifth of the Ten) · 1563–1606 CE, Punjab

The fifth Sikh Guru, who compiled the Adi Granth (the core of what became the Guru Granth Sahib) in 1604, gathering the writings of previous Gurus and various Bhagats. He also composed the Sukhmani Sahib, a long hymn on inner peace, and oversaw the completion of the Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib) in Amritsar.

Protection Hymn

This passage is an excerpt from the Anand Sahib, a composition by Guru Arjan, the fifth Sikh Guru. It is recited among Sikhs as a prayer for safety and protection, and is often used at the start of a blessing or as a daily invocation.

The Looming Metaphor of the Ocean

The phrase 'bhava-jalu' (world-ocean) refers to the sea of worldly cravings, suffering, and rebirth in Indian philosophical thought. The text promises that through the company of the holy (saadhu jana), one can be carried across this ocean to spiritual liberation.

Divine Punishment for the Detractors

The passage sternly notes that the wicked and the slanderers are destroyed 'in an instant' (khina mahi). In Sikh theology, this is not a call to violence but an assurance of divine justice that protects the faithful from harm.

The Illusion of the Sakta

The term sakta refers to someone attached to worldly possessions and power, without interest in spiritual life. The text contrasts such individuals with the devotees (bhagat jana) who seek refuge in the God of the universe.

The Guru's Shoes

The line about touching the Guru's feet (pairi pai) is a humble act of surrendering oneself and one's ego. It is considered a practical way to 'let go and let God' work through the guru and the divine plan.

Constant Prayer

The final remembrance—another Sikhs repeat the word saadaa (eternally) to emphasize that devotion to the Creator is not a one-time act but the steady, enduring purpose of one's entire life, offering a standing solid hope.
