Maaroo, Solahas, Fifth Mehl:
ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥
ik-oNkaar satgur parsaad.
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
ਕਲਾ ਉਪਾਇ ਧਰੀ ਜਿਨਿ ਧਰਣਾ ॥
kalaa upaa-ay Dharee jin Dharnaa.
He infused His power into the earth.
ਗਗਨੁ ਰਹਾਇਆ ਹੁਕਮੇ ਚਰਣਾ ॥
gagan rahaa-i-aa hukmay charnaa.
He suspends the heavens upon the feet of His Command.
ਅਗਨਿ ਉਪਾਇ ਈਧਨ ਮਹਿ ਬਾਧੀ ਸੋ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਰਾਖੈ ਭਾਈ ਹੇ ॥੧॥
agan upaa-ay eeDhan meh baaDhee so parabh raakhai bhaa-ee hay. ||1||
He created fire and locked it into wood. That God protects all, O Siblings of Destiny. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
There is only One. And the One is found by the True Guru's grace — a gift that is always here, waiting for an open heart.
The One poured strength into the earth to hold it steady, and hung the whole sky in place.
The One even tucked fire safely inside wood, waiting. The same One holds every one of us safe.
The One who holds the whole world up is holding you too.
The opening is cosmic awe: kalaa (power) set into the dharnaa (earth), the gagan (sky) suspended by the flow of the Command, and agan (fire) locked inside eedhan (wood). Every marvel becomes a reason for trust: so prabh raakhai — that same One keeps us all safe.
A Question to Sit With
What in nature makes you feel how enormous and careful the world is?
