Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
It helps to remember that everything unfolds within a gentle, larger doing.
Even the good thoughts we think and the kind words we speak are gifts flowing through us.
The verse gives the aapay ("He Himself") note that steadies the heart: "whatever the Lord does, He does by Himself... He Himself imparts understanding; He Himself inspires us to speak." Remembering that a larger, gentle goodness is at work — even in our own good thoughts and kind words — helps us hold steady and stay humble. For a child: even your good thoughts and kind words are gifts flowing through you, part of a bigger, gentle goodness.
When a kind thought comes to you, does it feel a little like a gift?
