ਆਪੇ ਕਰਣੀ ਕਰਣਹਾਰੁ ॥
aapay karnee karanhaar.
He Himself is the Deed, and He Himself is the Doer.
ਆਪੇ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਕਰਿ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ॥੪॥
aapay gurmukh kar beechaar. ||4||
As Gurmukh, He contemplates Himself. ||4||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is the deed, and the One is the doer.
In the one who turns toward the Guru, the One is the one who quietly reflects.
The One is both the deed and the doer, present even in your reflecting.
The One is the deed and the doer, and is there even in your reflecting.
Aape karnee karanhaar — the One is both the deed and the doer. Aape gurmukh kar beechaar: the One is present in the Gurmukh's reflection too. There is no corner of action or thought where the One is absent.
A Question to Sit With
When you do something kind, who is behind it — you, or something moving through you?
