ਸਾਚ ਧਰਮ ਕਾ ਬੇੜਾ ਬਾਂਧਿਆ ਭਵਜਲੁ ਪਾਰਿ ਪਵਾਈ ॥੧੬॥
saach Dharam kaa bayrhaa baaNDhi-aa bhavjal paar pavaa-ee. ||16||
I have built the boat of true Dharmic faith, to cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||16||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I have built a boat out of living true and doing right.
In it I cross the wild, frightening ocean of the world.
Living true is the boat that carries you across the wide world.
Saach dharam kaa bay-rhaa: the boat built of true dharam, of living rightly. The bhavjal is the vast world-ocean, with its storms and deep water. What ferries you across is the daily practice of living true.
A Question to Sit With
What is one true thing you can do today that helps carry you?
