You are All-powerful and Potent to grant Sanctuary. Exerting Your Power, You protect us. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You are all-powerful, able to give shelter.
Using Your own strength, You keep us safe.
What keeps us safe is the Giver's strength, not our own perfection.
The One is strong enough to shelter anyone, and that strength keeps you safe.
Too samrath saran jog: You are all-powerful and able to give shelter. Too raakhahi apnee kal Dhaar: by Your own power You protect. Shelter rests on the Giver's strength, like a child safe in strong arms.
A Question to Sit With
When have you felt held by something stronger than yourself?
