Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
What can any small person really do on their own? What is truly in these hands? Wherever You gently turn me, that is where I go — for You are the One who makes me whole.
Ki-aa kichh karai ke karnaihaaraa, ki-aa is haath bichaaray — "what can the doer do, what is in this poor one's hands?" This is empty-handedness again, tender rather than despairing: the honest recognition of how little we control. Jit tum laavhu tit hee laagaa — "wherever You apply me, there I engage" — pictures the self as gently guided, aligned with the flow rather than fighting it. Pooran khasam — "the perfect One who completes me" — reassures: being carried by the One is being made whole, not diminished.
When has following good guidance made you better than trying to figure it all out alone?
