Sikhism·Raag Maaroo·Shabad 107
Verse 13 of 16

No One Left to Blame

ਕਿਸ ਨੋ ਕਹੀਐ ਜਾ ਆਪਿ ਕਰਾਏ ॥
kis no kahee-ai jaa aap karaa-ay.
Who is to blame, when He Himself does everything?
ਜਿਤੁ ਭਾਵੈ ਤਿਤੁ ਰਾਹਿ ਚਲਾਏ ॥
jit bhaavai tit raahi chalaa-ay.
As He wills, so is the path we take.
ਆਪੇ ਮਿਹਰਵਾਨੁ ਸੁਖਦਾਤਾ ਜਿਉ ਭਾਵੈ ਤਿਵੈ ਚਲਾਈ ਹੇ ॥੧੩॥
aapay miharvaan sukh-daata ji-o bhaavai tivai chalaa-ee hay. ||13||
He Himself is the Merciful Giver of peace; as He wills, so do we follow. ||13||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

When you see that the One is quietly moving all of it, the urge to blame just softens.

As the flow goes, so we go.

And the One is a kind giver of peace; we walk the way it gently opens.

When the One holds everything, there is no one left to blame.
The deeper layer

Seeing everything within the One softens the urge to blame. The One is called merciful (mihrvaan); we walk the way it opens.

A Question to Sit With

When has letting go of blaming someone made you feel lighter?
