Salok Sehskritee, Salok 68 — Grass Becomes a Mountain

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

When the One is kind, the smallest, driest, emptiest things are turned around.

Tarin ta mayra — a blade of grass becomes a mountain. Dry land turns green. The one who was sinking swims across. The empty cup is filled until it overflows. The darkness is lit by millions of suns.

All of this happens, says the verse, when the Guru, the One, is kind.

Think of a dark stadium at night. One switch flips, and every light comes on at once. That is what grace is like here. It is not earned. It changes everything. No one is too small, too dry, too empty, or too far in the dark for grace to reach.
