Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In this busy world it is easy to doubt, and to miss the quiet voice that speaks without words.
Understanding comes as a gift, awakened and not forced,
and the One holds that person close, cherishing them like a beloved child.
Understanding is a gift, and the One holds whoever receives it like a child.
The world is full of sahsaa, doubt. People miss the akath kathaa, the unspoken speech. That means the quiet knowing of the One, which needs no words. Think of how a good friend can tell you are sad before you say a thing. Some knowing comes before words.
Jisahi bujhaa-ay so-ee boojhai — only the one the One helps to understand, understands. Insight is given, by grace. It is not forced.
Oh baalak vaagee paalee-ai — that person is cared for like a child. Maaroo is a raag that often sings of death and loss. So this tender picture, of being held like a beloved child, stands out on purpose.
When do you feel held and cared for, no matter what?
