ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਠਾਕੁਰੁ ਰਵਿਆ ਸਭ ਠਾਈ ਸਭੁ ਚੇਰੀ ਜਗਤੁ ਸਮਾਰੇ ॥
har parabh thaakur ravi-aa sabh thaa-ee sabh chayree jagat samaaray.
God, our Lord and Master, is permeating and pervading all places; He takes care of the whole world as His slave.
ਆਪਿ ਦਇਆਲੁ ਦਇਆ ਦਾਨੁ ਦੇਵੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਪਾਥਰ ਕੀਰੇ ਕਾਰੇ ॥੩॥
aap da-i-aal da-i-aa daan dayvai vich paathar keeray kaaray. ||3||
The Merciful Lord Himself mercifully gives His gifts, even to worms in stones. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The good cares for the whole world, tenderly.
It even feeds the tiniest, most hidden creature — like a little worm inside a stone.
The good cares for every creature, even the tiniest, most hidden one — like a little worm inside a stone.
A tender image of universal care: "the Merciful Lord gives His gifts even to worms in stones." No creature is too small or too hidden to be fed and cared for — even a tiny worm sealed inside a rock. For a child: the good cares for every creature, even the tiniest, most hidden one — like a little worm inside a stone.
A Question to Sit With
If even a hidden little worm is cared for, how well must you be cared for?
