ਵਿਣੁ ਜਾਣਾਏ ਕੋਇ ਨ ਜਾਣੈ ॥
vin jaanaa-ay ko-ay na jaanai.
No one knows You, unless You let them know You.
ਜੋ ਕਿਛੁ ਕਰੇ ਸੁ ਆਪਣ ਭਾਣੈ ॥
jo kichh karay so aapan bhaanai.
Whatever is done, is by Your Will.
ਲਖ ਚਉਰਾਸੀਹ ਜੀਅ ਉਪਾਏ ਭਾਣੈ ਸਾਹ ਲਵਾਇਦਾ ॥੪॥
lakh cha-oraaseeh jee-a upaa-ay bhaanai saah lavaa-idaa. ||4||
You created the 8.4 million species of beings; by Your Will, they draw their breath. ||4||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
No one can know the One unless the One gently lets them.
Everything that happens flows from the One's will, the natural way life unfolds.
Countless kinds of creatures fill the world, and every single one draws its breath because the One gives it.
Every breath you take is quietly given to you.
'Lakh chauraaseeh' is the traditional count of 8.4 million species. Every breath of every creature is a gift, drawn only because the One gives it.
A Question to Sit With
What is one thing you can thank life for right now?
