Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one who has grown whole and steady does not get knocked over by every wind. That wholeness was not something they built by force — the One shaped it in them.
And it keeps growing. Day by day it rises a little more, a little brighter. Nothing true is ever lost.
A short Shalok between two big Paurees, and a gentle promise. Pooran kabahu na doltaa — "the whole one never wobbles" — echoes sahaj, the natural steadiness of a soul that has stopped fighting itself. The key move is pooraa keeaa prabh aap: the person did not manufacture their own steadiness; it was shaped in them. This keeps the grace lens intact — wholeness is received, not achieved by willpower. Din din charhai savaaiaa — "day by day it rises higher" — is a growth image, like a moon filling out night after night, and hot na ghaat, "there is no loss," reassures the child that goodness quietly compounds and is never wasted.
When something knocks you off balance, what helps you feel steady and whole again?
