ਜੀਅ ਜੰਤ ਸਭੁ ਜਗੁ ਹੈ ਜੇਤਾ ਮਨੁ ਡੋਲਤ ਡੋਲ ਕਰੀਜੈ ॥
jee-a jant sabh jag hai jaytaa man dolat dol kareejai.
The minds of all the beings and creatures of the world waver unsteadily.
ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰਿ ਸਾਧੁ ਮਿਲਾਵਹੁ ਜਗੁ ਥੰਮਨ ਕਉ ਥੰਮੁ ਦੀਜੈ ॥੧॥
kirpaa kirpaa kar saaDh milaavhu jag thamman ka-o thamm deejai. ||1||
Please take pity on them, be merciful to them, and unite them with the Holy; establish this support to support the world. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
All the beings and creatures, the whole wide world — every mind wavers and wobbles.
Be kind, be kind, and bring them to the holy. Give the world a pillar to hold it steady.
When your mind is swaying, the steadiness of good people can hold you up.
Every mind wobbles, and holy people are the pillar that steadies the world.
Jee-a jant sabh jag: all beings, the whole world. Man dolat: minds that waver. The prayer asks saaDh milaavhu, bring them to the holy, as a thamm, a pillar that steadies the whole world. Think of the beam that holds up a leaning house.
A Question to Sit With
Who is a steady person you lean on when things feel shaky?
