Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One sets things up and takes them down again, exactly as feels right to that One.
Having made everything, the Maker watches over it, and lifts up whoever grace touches.
The letter Dhadha (retroflex) states the rhythm of all things: the One establishes and disestablishes (dhaahi usaaray) — builds up and takes down — jiv tis bhaavai, however it pleases. There's a deep steadiness in accepting this: seasons turn, things rise and fall, and none of it is out of control or against you. And the point isn't cold fate — it's that the same One who builds and unbuilds also watches over and emancipates under the Glance of Grace. The tearing-down and the saving come from one caring source.
Does it help to remember that hard changes are part of a bigger rhythm, not the end of the story?
