Meaning of Nir-Bhhow in Mool Mantra
Sikh Holybook starts with Mool Mantra (Root Mantra). Below I have written it
Ekk-Oung-Kaar Satt-Naam Karta-Purakh Nir-Bhhow Nir-Vair Akaal-Moorat Ajooni-Saibhang Gur-Prasaad||
Today we will discuss "Nir-Bhhow"
Bhhow mean Fear. In punjabi if the prefix- is Nir- it makes the meaning of the following word opposite.
So if Bhhow means Fear then Nir-Bhhow means Without Fear or Fearless.
Hence Nir-Bhhow is an attribute of GOD (The Creative Energy EKK-OUNG-KAAR).
But why GOD is fearless or without fear?
To get the answer, first we have to discuss what fear is? Fear is something happening against our will. We can fear from losing wealth, health, respect and or a good job or a good relationship. The biggest fear is the fear of death. Mostly the fear is from a power which is greater than our own.
But none of the above fears applies to GOD. God never dies. There is no other power which is greater than God's power.
Also if we consider from another aspect which is Oneness. If everything is part of One and there is nothing else then who to fear from.
Below is the youtube video by Nanak Naam Channel which explains the Nir-Bhhow very well;
