Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I am sinking in the wide ocean of the world.
I remember the One, the source of every jewel, and I am lifted out and saved.
When the world feels like too much, remembering the One lifts you out.
Boodat sansaar saagar: "I am sinking in the world-ocean." Sansaar means this busy world. Sometimes it feels like big waves, one after another: homework, worries, noise.
Then: uDhray har simar ratnaagar, "remembering the Lord, the jewel-mine, I am lifted out." Ratnaagar means a mine full of jewels. It is a name for the One, the source of every good thing.
Think of a swimmer who is tired and scared. Then a lifeguard reaches out a hand. The waves have not stopped. But now someone is holding you.
What lifts you back up when a day feels overwhelming?
