ਸੁਰਿ ਨਰ ਗਣ ਗੰਧ੍ਰਬ ਜਸੁ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਸਭ ਗਾਵਤ ਜੇਤ ਉਪਾਮ ॥
sur nar gan ganDharab jas gaavahi sabh gaavat jayt upaam.
The angelic and divine beings, and the celestial singers sing His Praises; all Creation sings of Him.
ਨਾਨਕ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰੀ ਹਰਿ ਜਿਨ ਕਉ ਤੇ ਸੰਤ ਭਲੇ ਹਰਿ ਰਾਮ ॥੨॥੧॥
naanak kirpaa karee har jin ka-o tay sant bhalay har raam. ||2||1||
O Nanak, those whom the Lord blesses with His Kind Mercy, become the good Saints of the Lord God. ||2||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Every kind of being — angels, singers, all of creation — sings about the One.
And a heart the One touches with kindness becomes truly good, a blessing to everyone.
All of creation sings the same song of wonder — and a heart touched by kindness becomes a blessing to others.
The verse widens: "all Creation sings of Him" — the whole living world is one great chorus of praise. And the tender close: "those whom the Lord blesses with His Mercy become the good Saints." Goodness in a person is credited to grace — a kindness received, which then overflows to bless others. For a child: all of creation sings the same song of wonder — and a heart touched by kindness becomes good and a blessing to others.
A Question to Sit With
If all of nature is 'singing,' what do you think you add to the song?
