Sikhism·Raag Gauree·Shabad 130
Verse 3 of 5

Every Living Thing Is Held in One Care

ਜੇਤੇ ਜੀਅ ਤੇਤੇ ਸਭਿ ਤੇਰੇ ॥
jaytay jee-a taytay sabh tayray.
As many creatures as there are - they are all Yours.
ਤੁਮਰੀ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਤੇ ਸੂਖ ਘਨੇਰੇ ॥੨॥
tumree kirpaa tay sookh ghanayray. ||2||
By Your Grace, all sorts of comforts are obtained. ||2||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Every living creature there is — all of them are yours. And it is by your grace that so many comforts and joys come to us.

Every living thing belongs to the same One — the whole of life is inside one care.
The deeper layer

Jaytay jee-a taytay sabh tayray — as many beings as exist, all are Yours — tumree kirpaa tay sookh ghanayray, by Your grace, countless comforts. The line quietly levels everything: every creature, without exception, belongs to the same One. There is no in-group; the whole of life is inside the one care.

A Question to Sit With

What changes when you remember every living thing belongs to the same source?
