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 ॥

The Fear of God is overpowering, and so very heavy,

ਮਨ ਮਤਿ ਹਉਲੀ ਬੋਲੇ ਬੋਲੁ ॥

So, place the Fear of God upon your head, and bear that weight;

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

The desire for the worldly drama arises in the intellect,

but even with thousands of clever mental tricks, the heat of the Fear of God does not come into play.
