Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You Yourself made the whole world, and You Yourself hold all of it in Your hands.
Nanak says: the One poured kindness on me, the servant, and lifted me out as I was sinking in an ocean of poison.
The One made the whole world and holds it, and lifts out the one who is sinking.
Tudh aapay aap upaa-i-aa sabh jag: You Yourself made the whole world. Tudh aapay vas kar la-i-aa: You Yourself hold it all in Your vas, Your hands.
Jan naanak ka-o parabh kirpaa Dhaaree: the One poured kindness on Nanak, the servant. Bikh dubdaa kaadh la-i-aa: sinking in bikh, poison, he was pulled out. The poison is the pull of greed and ego, deep as an ocean. Think of a lifeguard reaching into the deep end and lifting a swimmer up into the air.
When did help reach you at just the moment you needed it most?
