Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I do the deeds and the tasks the One sets me to;
I do what the One moves me to do.
This line takes the letting-go from the pause line and brings it into everyday work.
Jit kaarai kamm ham har laa-ay — I do the work the One has given me. So ham karah jo aap karaa-ay — I do what the One moves me to do.
This could sound like sitting back and doing nothing. But it means the opposite. It means being free. The ego likes to pretend it writes the whole story of your life alone. Here that pretending relaxes. Your ordinary tasks become the One's tasks.
Think of playing in a school band. You play your part with all your heart. But you don't have to carry the whole song alone. The music belongs to everyone, and the conductor holds it together. You still work, fully. You just stop pretending you are the only one keeping it all going.
Where do you carry 'it all depends on me' most heavily? What would it feel like to lay it down?
