Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The heart that finally learns to ask for wisdom has wandered a long, long way to get there.
The same One gives, and the same One takes away — and there truly is no other.
The letter Jajja holds a weary, wise line: the humble one begging for wisdom has wandered through 8.4 million lifetimes — the traditional image for the endless restlessness of a soul that hasn't yet turned home. It's not meant to scare; it's meant to make the turning-home feel precious, hard-won. And the settling truth: ek day ek layhi — One gives, One takes, no other. All the wandering ends in a single, simple trust: everything comes from and returns to the same hand.
