Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You hand me good things all the time. And I will admit — sometimes I get so busy enjoying the gifts that I forget the One who gave them.
So this is me remembering: behind every good thing is You. Let me love the Giver, not just the presents.
It is easy to love the gifts and forget the Giver.
Tumh dayvhu sabh kichh — You give me everything. Laag paray tayray daan si-o nah chit khasmaaray — I cling to Your gifts and forget You, my Master. Daan means gift.
It is like a birthday where you tear open every present and forget to hug the person who gave them. This is a very human habit. The verse names it without shaming, so we can notice it and turn back.
When you get something you love, do you remember to thank the person behind it?
