Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Every life belongs to the One, who gently turns each heart back home and becomes its helper.
The Maker has worked a quiet wonder. O Nanak, the One's greatness is true, and it lasts.
Coming home is the One's own wonder, a gift and not a prize.
Jin kay jee-a tinai hee fayray — all beings belong to the One, and the One turns them homeward. Aapay bha-i-aa sahaa-ee — the One becomes their helper. So the homecoming in this shabad is grace. It is not something anyone achieved alone. Think of a lost puppy found and carried home. The puppy did not find the way. Someone came looking for it.
The close calls all of this an achraj, a wonder, worked by the karnaihaarai, the Maker. Sach vadi-aa-ee — the One's greatness is sach, real and lasting.
Can you think of a change in yourself or someone you love that felt like a small wonder?
