ਜਿਸ ਤੇ ਲਾਗੇ ਤਿਨਹਿ ਨਿਵਾਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਜੀਉ ਅਪਣੀ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਧਾਰੀ ॥੨॥
jis tay laagay tineh nivaaray parabh jee-o apnee kirpaa Dhaaree. ||2||
He has rid me of what was clinging to me; my Dear Lord God has blessed me with His Grace. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One has freed me from whatever was clinging to me.
My dear One has blessed me with grace.
The freeing was a kindness poured out, not a prize won.
Jis tay laagay tineh nivaaray — the same One from whom the entanglement came is the One who removes it. This is a subtle, mature line: it does not blame the self for being stuck, and it does not credit the self for getting free. Apnee kirpaa dhaaree — grace poured out, received rather than earned.
