Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Confusion lives in every one of us, and even that muddle is somehow part of the great mystery.
But whenever kindness falls on us, we find a true teacher — and the fog begins to lift.
The letter Chhachha is honest about something children rarely hear admitted: bharam (confusion, doubt) lives within everyone, and it, too, belongs to the larger mystery. The poem doesn't shame you for being confused — it treats confusion as part of the human condition, not a personal failure. And the way out isn't cleverness but grace: jis ho-ay da-i-aal so gur milai, those touched by mercy meet the Guru, and the mist starts to clear. You're not broken for being lost; you're simply waiting for the fog to lift.
When you feel confused about something, what or who helps the fog clear?
