Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Here is a humbling truth, friends: none of us pulls anything off entirely on our own. There is always more holding us up than we can see.
And the Name — keeping the One in mind — comes as a gift too. It is given, received with open hands, never grabbed.
None of us does anything all by ourselves.
Aaphu kachhoo na hovat bhaa-ee — by ourselves, nothing gets done, friends. Bhaa-ee means brother, or friend. The line gently melts the idea of being fully self-made. Think of a goal in a soccer match. The scorer gets the cheer, but the pass, the team and the coach all made it happen.
Jis prabh dayvai so naam paa-ee — the Name comes to the one the One gives it to. Even the deepest good, the Name itself, is a gift you receive with open hands. It is never a prize you grab.
What is something you thought you did all by yourself that had lots of hidden help?
