Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Life can feel like a huge, deep ocean, and sometimes I feel very small in it.
Be kind — lift me up and set me safely on the shore.
Among good and loving people, holding onto You, it is as if I have climbed into a sturdy boat that carries me gently across.
Adhik garat sansaar saagar — the world-ocean, vast and deep. The prayer chaarahu dhor asks to be lifted onto the shore. The rescuing image is sant sang har charan bohith — in the company of the good, the One's feet are a boat that ferries us across. Kaydaaraa returns often to this gentle picture of being carried rather than struggling alone.
When something feels too big to face alone, who or what helps carry you across?
