ਕਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਗਾਸੁ ਪ੍ਰਚੰਡ ਪ੍ਰਗਟਿਓ ਅੰਧਕਾਰ ਬਿਨਾਸ ॥
kar pargaas parchand pargati-o anDhkaar binaas.
Blazing with its dazzling light, the sun rises, and dispels the darkness.
ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰ ਅਪਵਿਤ੍ਰਹ ਕਿਰਣ ਲਾਗੇ ਮਨਿ ਨ ਭਇਓ ਬਿਖਾਦੁ ॥੫॥
pavitar apvitreh kiran laagay man na bha-i-o bikhaad. ||5||
Touching both the pure and the impure, it harbors no hatred to any. ||5||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The sun blazes up and pushes away the dark.
It shines on the clean and the messy alike, holding no dislike for anyone.
Light does not decide who deserves it; it just shines.
Light does not check whether you deserve it before it reaches you, an image of grace, which is always here, given and not earned.
A Question to Sit With
Where could you shine a little light today without keeping score?
