Sikhism·Raag Maaroo·Shabad 120
Verse 2 of 16

Every Creature Seeks Your Shelter

ਅਗਮ ਅਗੋਚਰੁ ਕੀਮਤਿ ਨਹੀ ਪਾਈ ॥
agam agochar keemat nahee paa-ee.
You are inaccessible and unfathomable; Your limits cannot be found.
ਜੀਅ ਜੰਤ ਤੇਰੀ ਸਰਣਾਈ ॥
jee-a jant tayree sarnaa-ee.
All beings and creatures seek Your Sanctuary.
ਜਿਉ ਤੁਧੁ ਭਾਵੈ ਤਿਵੈ ਚਲਾਵਹਿ ਤੂ ਆਪੇ ਮਾਰਗਿ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੨॥
ji-o tuDh bhaavai tivai chalaaveh too aapay maarag paa-idaa. ||2||
As is pleases Your Will, You guide us along; You Yourself place us on the Path. ||2||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The One is deeper than any measuring can reach.

Every living thing leans toward that shelter, and the One gently guides us and sets our feet on the way.

Every living thing leans toward the same great shelter.
The deeper layer

The One is unreachable and unfathomable; all creatures seek its sanctuary. Guidance is grace-led.

A Question to Sit With

Where or with whom do you feel most sheltered and safe?
