ਜਿਸੁ ਕਰਣਾ ਸੋ ਕਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਵੇਖੈ ॥
jis karnaa so kar kar vaykhai.
He who created the creation, beholds what He has created.
ਕੋਇ ਨ ਮੇਟੈ ਸਾਚੇ ਲੇਖੈ ॥
ko-ay na maytai saachay laykhai.
No one can erase the Inscription of the True Lord.
ਆਪੇ ਕਰੇ ਕਰਾਏ ਆਪੇ ਆਪੇ ਦੇ ਵਡਿਆਈ ਹੇ ॥੨॥
aapay karay karaa-ay aapay aapay day vadi-aa-ee hay. ||2||
He Himself is the Doer, the Cause of causes; He Himself is the One who bestows glorious greatness. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You made everything, and You watch over what You made with loving eyes.
The story You have written cannot be rubbed out by anyone.
You are the doer of all, and the One who lifts us into greatness.
The One watches over all creation like an author who loves the story.
The inscription that no one can erase points to hukam, the deep ordering of things. Paired with the One beholding creation, it becomes a picture of a caring author rather than a stern accountant.
A Question to Sit With
If your life were a story, what kind of chapter are you in right now?
