Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When the Lord of the Universe became merciful,
I found peace, wealth, and the fruit of the Name; I have met the true Guru.
All these good changes come from one source: the One's kindness.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line at the center of the shabad. Ja-o kirpaa gobind bha-ee — when Gobind, the Keeper of the world, became kind. That one moment of kindness is the cause of every change in the shabad.
Then the gifts pour in: peace, inner wealth, the fruit of the Name, and meeting the true Guru. Think of one tap turned on at a garden. The water runs down every row and every plant grows. All the good things come from one flow of mercy.
When did a turn for the better come not from your effort but as a gift?
