Dear God, by Your Grace, my doubts have been dispelled.
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Dear One, by your kindness my doubts have scattered.
By your mercy, everyone is mine — I turn this over in my mind.
A small line carries a huge shift: "all are mine." When doubt (bharam, the divided, suspicious mind) clears, the walls between self and others come down too. The person who feels separate sees rivals and strangers everywhere; the person whose doubt has dissolved begins to see everyone as their own. This is Ik Onkar landing in daily relationship — if there is no real separation, then no one is finally a stranger. It is worth sitting with how much of our anxiety is downstream of doubt: doubt whether we are held, doubt whether others are for us or against us. When that clears, both fears ease at once.
How does feeling suspicious or separate change the way you see other people? What happens when that feeling lifts?
