ਜੋ ਪੇਖਾ ਸੋ ਸਭੁ ਕਿਛੁ ਸੁਆਮੀ ॥
jo paykhaa so sabh kichh su-aamee.
Whatever I see, is my Lord and Master God.
ਜੋ ਸੁਨਣਾ ਸੋ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੀ ਬਾਨੀ ॥
jo sunnaa so parabh kee baanee.
Whatever I hear, is the Bani of God's Word.
ਜੋ ਕੀਨੋ ਸੋ ਤੁਮਹਿ ਕਰਾਇਓ ਸਰਣਿ ਸਹਾਈ ਸੰਤਹ ਤਨਾ ॥੧੩॥
jo keeno so tumeh karaa-i-o saran sahaa-ee santeh tanaa. ||13||
Whatever I do, You make me do; You are the Sanctuary, the help and support of the Saints, Your children. ||13||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whatever I look at turns out to be the One.
Whatever I listen to is the One's own voice speaking.
And whatever I manage to do, it was You moving through me all along; You are the shelter and the strength of those who love You.
The world stops being background once you notice who is behind it.
A total-immersion verse: seeing, hearing, and doing all traced back to the One. 'Jo keeno so tumeh karaa-i-o' — whatever I do, You make me do — places every action gently with the One, and leaves room for wonder.
A Question to Sit With
