ਵਿਰਲੇ ਕਉ ਗੁਰਿ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਣਾਇਆ ॥
virlay ka-o gur sabad sunaa-i-aa.
How rare is that person who listens to the Word of the Guru's Shabad.
ਕਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਦੇਖੈ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਸਬਾਇਆ ॥
kar kar daykhai hukam sabaa-i-aa.
He created the creation, and watches over it; the Hukam of His Command is over all.
ਖੰਡ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡ ਪਾਤਾਲ ਅਰੰਭੇ ਗੁਪਤਹੁ ਪਰਗਟੀ ਆਇਦਾ ॥੧੫॥
khand barahmand paataal arambhay guptahu pargatee aa-idaa. ||15||
He formed the planets, solar systems and nether regions, and brought what was hidden to manifestation. ||15||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Only a rare heart listens to the Guru's word.
The One made everything and watches over it, and the flow of existence holds it all together.
The One spread out the planets and stars and every hidden corner, bringing what was secret out into the open.
The One brings hidden things into the light.
'Guptahu pargatee': the One brings the hidden into the manifest. Creation is the unfolding of what was quietly held within the One.
A Question to Sit With
What hidden thing became clear to you once someone helped you see it?
