Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
This One is beautiful, wise, endlessly clever, the giver of every life. And so the One is like family to me — brother, child, father, and mother all at once.
The One can be all of your family at once.
Sundar sugharh chatur jee-a daataa — beautiful, wise, clever, the Giver of life. Then comes a tender line. Bhaa-ee poot pitaa parabh maataa — God is my brother, son, father and mother.
Guru Arjan loves to picture the One as a complete family. Every family role is filled by the same One. It is like a home where the lights are always on and someone is always there. You are never without family, because the One is all of it.
Which family feeling do you most need right now: a parent's care, a sibling's company?
