ਏਹੁ ਆਕਾਰੁ ਤੇਰਾ ਹੈ ਧਾਰਾ ॥
ayhu aakaar tayraa hai Dhaaraa.
This Creation was established by You.
ਖਿਨ ਮਹਿ ਬਿਨਸੈ ਕਰਤ ਨ ਲਾਗੈ ਬਾਰਾ ॥੨॥
khin meh binsai karat na laagai baaraa. ||2||
In an instant You destroy it, and You create it again without a moment's delay. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
This whole creation — You set it up.
In an instant You bring it to an end, and You make it again without a moment's delay.
The whole visible world rests lightly in the hands that made it.
Everything you see was set up by the One, and it can end and begin again in a blink.
Ayhu aakaar tayraa hai dhaaraa: this whole shape of things is Yours; You set it up. Khin meh binsai karat na laagai baaraa: in a moment it ends, and making it again takes no time at all. Think of a sandcastle on the beach: a wave smooths it away, and small hands build again. The vastness is meant to bring wonder.
A Question to Sit With
Does it feel scary or freeing that everything is temporary? Why?
