ਜੋ ਤੇਰੀ ਸਰਨਾਗਤਾ ਤਿਨ ਨਾਹੀ ਭਾਰੁ ॥
jo tayree sarnaagataa tin naahee bhaar.
Whoever enters Your Sanctuary, is relieved of his burden of sin.
ਊਚ ਨੀਚ ਤੁਮ ਤੇ ਤਰੇ ਆਲਜੁ ਸੰਸਾਰੁ ॥੨॥
ooch neech tum tay taray aalaj sansaar. ||2||
You have saved the high and the low from the shameless world. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Anyone who steps into Your shelter gets the heavy weight lifted off their shoulders. No exceptions, no waiting list.
It does not matter if the world called you "high" or "low" — You carry everyone across the same way.
The One carries "high" and "low" across in exactly the same way.
jo tayree sarnaagataa tin naahee bhaar — those in refuge are unburdened. ooch neech tum tay taray — "high and low" alike are carried across: Ravidas's ringing caste-leveling, the One making no distinction the world insists on. Aalaj sansaar — the shameless, harsh world they are carried across.
A Question to Sit With
Where have you seen someone treated as "less," and how could that be different?
