ਸਾਗਰੁ ਕੀਨਾ ਅਤਿ ਤੁਮ ਭਾਰਾ ॥
saagar keenaa at tum bhaaraa.
You made the ocean vast and huge.
ਇਕਿ ਖੜੇ ਰਸਾਤਲਿ ਕਰਿ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਗਾਵਾਰਾ ॥
ik kharhay rasaatal kar manmukh gaavaaraa.
You made some into foolish self-willed manmukhs, and dragged them into hell.
ਇਕਨਾ ਪਾਰਿ ਲੰਘਾਵਹਿ ਆਪੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਜਿਨ ਕਾ ਸਚੁ ਬੇੜਾ ॥੮॥
iknaa paar langhaaveh aapay satgur jin kaa sach bayrhaa. ||8||
Some are carried across, in the ship of Truth of the True Guru. ||8||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You made the ocean of this world wide and deep.
Some who follow only their own minds, foolish and stubborn, You let sink to the very bottom.
And some You carry across Yourself, in the Guru's boat of Truth.
Deep water is crossed in the Guru's boat of Truth.
The world is a deep ocean. A 'manmukh', one who follows only their own mind, sinks in it; 'satgur jin kaa sach bayrhaa', those whose boat is the Guru's Truth, are carried across.
A Question to Sit With
What helps you feel steady when the world feels like deep water?
