ਜਾਨ ਪ੍ਰਬੀਨ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਮੇਰੇ ਸਰਣਿ ਤੁਮਾਰੀ ਅਹੀ ॥
jaan parbeen su-aamee parabh mayray saran tumaaree ahee.
I know that You are all-wise, O God, my Lord and Master; I seek Your Sanctuary.
ਖਿਨ ਮਹਿ ਥਾਪਿ ਉਥਾਪਨਹਾਰੇ ਕੁਦਰਤਿ ਕੀਮ ਨ ਪਹੀ ॥੨॥੭॥
khin meh thaap uthaapanhaaray kudrat keem na pahee. ||2||7||
In an instant, You establish and disestablish; the value of Your Almighty Creative Power cannot be estimated. ||2||7||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I know You are all-wise, my Master; I seek Your shelter.
In an instant You set up and take down; the worth of Your power can't be measured.
Surrender is safe because the outcomes rest in the hands of an all-wise power, not your inadequate scheming.
The close rests on the One's wisdom and power — it "establishes and disestablishes" in a moment, beyond all measuring. For the one who has given up cleverness (P0), this is pure comfort: the outcomes are in the hands of an all-wise power, not left to my inadequate scheming. Trust in that wisdom is what makes surrender safe.
A Question to Sit With
Could you trust a wisdom greater than your own enough to stop scheming and simply take shelter?
