Salok Bhagat Kabir, Salok 133 — one Maker behind everything

ਕਬੀਰ ਕਾਰਨੁ ਸੋ ਭਇਓ ਜੋ ਕੀਨੋ ਕਰਤਾਰਿ ॥
kabeer kaaran so bha-i-o jo keeno kartaar.
Kabir, the Creator does whatever He pleases.
ਤਿਸੁ ਬਿਨੁ ਦੂਸਰੁ ਕੋ ਨਹੀ ਏਕੈ ਸਿਰਜਨਹਾਰੁ ॥੧੩੩॥
tis bin doosar ko nahee aykai sirjanhaar. ||133||
There is none other than Him; He alone is the Creator of all. ||133||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Kabir says: whatever the Creator does, that is what happens.

There is no one else besides the One. The One alone is the Maker of all.

One Maker moves behind everything that happens.
The deeper layer

Everything that happens comes from the one Creator, and there is no second.

Kaaran so bha-i-o jo keeno kartaar: what the Creator does, that comes to be. Tis bin doosar ko nahee: there is no other besides the One. Aykai sirjanhaar: one Maker of all.

A Question to Sit With

How does it feel to see events as part of one connected whole?
