Mulmantra 5
Nirbhau –
The next
word in invocation or Mulmantra literally means without fear. Only the Almighty
the Supreme Being is without fear. All his creations like the sun, the moon the
earth, the fire, the wind, the ocean and the man move under the grip of His
fear. Guru Nanak explains this in Asa ji di waar- GG sahib pg. 464:
"Bhay wich pawan wahe sadwau
Bhay wich chaleh lakh daryao,
Bhay wich agan kadai waigar,
bhay wich dharti dabbi bhar,
Bhay wich indu phire sirbhar,
Bhay raja dhararm dwar,
Bhay wich suraj,Bhay wich chand,
Kohcrori chalat na anant"
In other words the fear of Almighty makes the wind to blow, rivers to flow, fire to burn hot, earth to carry all the weight, rains to pour, Kings to follow the path of dharma, sun to shine and moon to give light.
God alone is the fearless Being and He alone is Sovereign. Everything else moves under His discipline.

This fear of
God under which His creation like air, water, sun, moon, and earth moves means
living in a discipline and doing all that the God wills. When everything is
being followed then the living could become smoother for everyone on this
earth. It is only the human race that has become either too docile or too
fearless and created divide of many kinds like subjugation to caste, creed,
power, religion and politics and it all happened because God created a mind for
human race that can absorb right and wrong both. The control of wayward mind is
the objective of Guru to lead a fearless life so that no tyrant can subject us
to subjugation, no Brahman can decide our fate and classify us into compartments
of hierarchy. God and His Will is always in justice so living according to His
will by grace of Guru should be objective of our life.
