ਦਾਨਾ ਕੈ ਸਿਰਿ ਦਾਨੁ ਵੀਚਾਰਾ ॥
daanaa kai sir daan veechaaraa.
I consider Your gifts to be the most wonderful gifts.
ਕਰਣ ਕਾਰਣ ਸਮਰਥੁ ਅਪਾਰਾ ॥
karan kaaran samrath apaaraa.
You are the Cause of causes, Almighty Infinite Lord.
ਕਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਵੇਖੈ ਕੀਤਾ ਅਪਣਾ ਕਰਣੀ ਕਾਰ ਕਰਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੫॥
kar kar vaykhai keetaa apnaa karnee kaar karaa-idaa. ||15||
Creating the creation, You gaze upon what You have created; You cause all to do their deeds. ||15||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When I stop and think about it, every gift I have is a wonder.
The One is the reason behind every reason, strong beyond measure.
The One made all of this, watches over it, and gently sets everything in motion.
Behind every reason there is one great Reason.
'Karan kaaran samrath': the One is the Cause of causes, the source behind every source. Even our ability to act at all is given.
A Question to Sit With
What everyday gift do you usually overlook?
