Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A branch that had gone dry and brittle can turn green again in a single moment. One glance of grace, like a rain that soaks the roots, and what looked dead is suddenly alive and growing.
One look of grace can make a dried-up heart green again.
Sookay haray kee-ay khin maahay — dry branches are made green in an instant. Amrit darisat sanch jeevaa-ay — the life-giving glance waters them and brings them back to life. Amrit darisat means a look full of nectar, a glance that gives life.
Think of a houseplant that has gone limp and brown. You water it, and by evening it is standing up again.
The dried branch is any heart that has grown tired or numb. Grace is not earned. It is always here, like water, waiting for the moment we open up. So the glance is not a reward. It is a new start that was always possible.
When have you felt something inside you come back to life after feeling dry?
