Salok Sehskritee, Salok 42 — The Creator of All Is My Creator Too
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One blesses everyone with humility, and has blessed me with humility too. The One makes everyone pure, and has made me pure too.
Nanak says: the Creator of all is my Creator too, and no blame or stain ever sticks to the One.
Whatever goodness a person has, humility or a clean heart, comes from the same One who gives it to everyone.
Sarab seel: humility for all, and humility for me. Purity for all, and purity for me. The One who made everything, kartaa, made me too.
This keeps pride away. If the good in me is a gift, and the same gift is in everyone, there is no reason to look down on anyone. It also keeps me from thinking little of myself: the gift is real. And layp chhayp na lip-yatai: no stain sticks to the One who gives it.
Think of something good about yourself. How might it change things to see it as a gift you share with others rather than something that makes you better than them?
