Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Flamingoes fly hundreds of miles from their young. Who feeds those young ones left behind? Who teaches them how to feed themselves?
Have you ever actually stopped and thought about this?
The observation is simple and devastating: birds leave their young and fly hundreds of miles away. The young survive. Something feeds them, teaches them, sustains them — without the parent present. This happens millions of times, every day, in every ecosystem on earth.
Guru Arjan is asking: do you see this? Do you really look at it? Because if you did, the anxiety about provision would dissolve. The source has been sustaining life in ways completely outside human management since before humans existed. Your worrying has never been what kept things alive.
Have you ever watched animals or plants survive in conditions that seemed impossible for survival? What does that make you think about who or what is actually providing?
