Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva carry the sickness; the whole world carries it.
Those who come to know the One's feet and think deeply on the Guru's Word are set free.
No one is too great to need the cure, and no one is too small to receive it.
Rogee barahmaa bisan sarudraa — Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva are named here. In the Hindu tradition around Guru Nanak, they were the greatest of all beings. The verse names them with full respect, as vast and mighty. And still it says the same ache can touch them. Rogee sagal sansaaraa — the whole world has it.
Then comes the cure. Har pad cheen bha-ay say muktay — those who hold the One in mind become free. Gur kaa sabad veechaaraa — they think deeply on the Guru's word. It is like a school where the only thing that counts is learning. Your name, your size, and your title don't matter. Understanding sets you free, not rank.
Why do you think it can be just as hard for powerful people to feel connected as for anyone else?
