Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The three moods of nature - its calm, its fire, its heaviness - all move in awe, and so do the countless forms He made.
Even change itself, and the principle that weighs right and wrong, stand in awe before Him.
Even the powers that run the world bow before the One.
Old Indian thought spoke of three moods that run through all of nature. One is calm and clear. One is fiery and busy. One is heavy and slow. The verse says all three live in awe of the One, along with every form the One has made.
Then it names Maya, the tricky shine of things that do not last. Even Maya bows. And so does Dharam Raa-ay, the one who weighs right and wrong. Even the weigher of right and wrong stands in awe.
Think of the referee in a big game. Everyone watches the ref. But the ref is following the rulebook too. There is always something bigger than the one who seems in charge.
Here, the biggest thing of all is the One.
What helps you tell right from wrong?
