Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When a beggar cries out at the door, the Master hears it from deep inside the house — every cry is heard.
And whether the answer is yes, or not-yet, that too is part of His greatness. Nothing you ask is ever lost on Him.
Every call we make to the One is heard, even when the answer is "not yet."
Picture someone knocking at the door of a big house. The owner is far inside, but still hears every knock. Jay dar maangat kook karay mahlee khasam sunay — if someone asking at the door cries out, the Master hears it inside the house.
The second line is the deep one. The Master may welcome the person in or send them away for now. Both, it says, are "the Gift of the Lord's Greatness." This is Hukam, the One's loving order, at work in our prayers. The yes and the not-yet come from the same caring place. Think of a parent who says "not today" about a treat. The love is the same either way. So neither answer is a reason to lose heart.
Can you think of a time a "no" or a "wait" turned out to be a kind of gift?
