Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The seekers and wanderers, the disciplined and the peaceful — every one of them asks at Your door.
You alone are the Giver, and all of us ask. You give Your gifts to the whole wide world.
Everyone, even the holiest person, asks for gifts at the same door.
The verse lists holy people of many paths. Sidh are people with great spiritual powers. Saadhik are seekers in training. Banvaasee live in the forest. Jatee and satee keep strict self-control and pure lives. And some simply live in peace. All of them ask the One for gifts.
Ik daataar sagal hai jaachik: there is one Giver, and everyone else receives. Think of a school lunch line. The principal, the teachers and the kids all hold out their trays at the same counter. However holy anyone is, all alike receive.
What might change if you saw everyone — even the great — as receiving, like you?
