Raamkalee, Fourth Mehl:
ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਸਖਾ ਸਾਧ ਜਨ ਨੀਕੇ ਤਿਨ ਊਪਰਿ ਹਾਥੁ ਵਤਾਵੈ ॥
har kay sakhaa saaDh jan neekay tin oopar haath vataavai.
The friends of the Lord, the humble, Holy Saints are sublime; the Lord spreads out His protecting hands above them.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਾਧ ਸੇਈ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਾਏ ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਆਪਿ ਮਿਲਾਵੈ ॥੧॥
gurmukh saaDh say-ee parabh bhaa-ay kar kirpaa aap milaavai. ||1||
The Gurmukhs are the Holy Saints, pleasing to God; in His mercy, He blends them with Himself. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The friends of the One, the humble holy people, are noble, and the One spreads a protecting hand over them.
Those who turn to the Guru are the holy ones, dear to the One. In kindness, the One draws them right into Itself.
A sheltering hand is spread over those who turn toward the good.
Saadh jan are the gentle, holy people; haath vataavai is the image of a protecting hand spread over them like a roof. Aap milaavai — the One itself does the uniting. The shelter and the drawing-in are both gifts, not achievements.
A Question to Sit With
Who has spread a sheltering hand over you?
