Whenever I was surrounded by fear, sickness or trouble my mother taught me a prayer "Tati woh na lagyee..." Even though I never knew its meaning, I recited it religiously whenever things were not fine. Today, incidently I read the meaning of these lines in an article on www.sikhnet.com. The meanings of these lines touched a deep chord within me as they give me the warmth of being with my Guru. I would like to share the lines with one and all...

-----------------------------------------------

The hot wind does not even touch one who is under the Protection of God.

On all four sides I am surrounded by God's Circle of Protection; pain does not afflict me, O Siblings of Destiny.

I have met the Perfect True Guru, who has done this deed.

He has given me the medicine of God's Name, and I enshrine love for the One Lord.

God has saved me, and eradicated all my sickness.Says Nanak, God has showered me with His Mercy; He has become my help and support.

[Guru Arjan, SGGS, 819:16]
