ਜਿਸ ਕੇ ਚਾਕਰ ਤਿਸ ਕੀ ਸੇਵਾ ॥
jis kay chaakar tis kee sayvaa.
I am His servant; I serve Him.
ਸਬਦਿ ਪਤੀਜੈ ਅਲਖ ਅਭੇਵਾ ॥
sabad pateejai alakh abhayvaa.
He is unknowable and mysterious; He is pleased by the Shabad.
ਭਗਤਾ ਕਾ ਗੁਣਕਾਰੀ ਕਰਤਾ ਬਖਸਿ ਲਏ ਵਡਿਆਈ ਹੇ ॥੨॥
bhagtaa kaa gunkaaree kartaa bakhas la-ay vadi-aa-ee hay. ||2||
The Creator is the Benefactor of His devotees. He forgives them - such is His greatness. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I am here to serve the One I belong to.
You cannot be fully figured out, yet a true word delights You.
You are so good to those who love You, quick to forgive and quick to lift them up.
The One I serve is quick to forgive and quick to lift me up.
The One is unknowable yet moved by a sincere word, and generous with forgiveness. The relationship is one of glad service, not fearful duty.
A Question to Sit With
How does it feel to be forgiven quickly by someone who loves you?
