ਇਹੁ ਤਉ ਰਚਨੁ ਰਚਿਆ ਕਰਤਾਰਿ ॥
ih ta-o rachan rachi-aa kartaar.
The Creator Lord created this creation.
ਆਵਤ ਜਾਵਤ ਹੁਕਮਿ ਅਪਾਰਿ ॥
aavat jaavat hukam apaar.
It comes and goes, subject to the Will of the Infinite Lord.
ਨਹ ਕੋ ਮੂਆ ਨ ਮਰਣੈ ਜੋਗੁ ॥
nah ko moo-aa na marnai jog.
No one dies; no one is capable of dying.
ਨਹ ਬਿਨਸੈ ਅਬਿਨਾਸੀ ਹੋਗੁ ॥੩॥
nah binsai abhinaasee hog. ||3||
The soul does not perish; it is imperishable. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Maker made all of this.
It comes and goes in the flow of the Infinite One's will.
No one dies; no one is able to die.
The soul does not perish. It lasts forever.
The deepest part of you cannot be destroyed.
The Creator made all of this, it comes and goes in the boundless flow, and the soul does not perish.
Rachan rachi-aa kartaar — the Creator made this creation, and it comes and goes by hukam apaar, the boundless flow. Nah binsai abhinaasee hog — the soul does not perish; it is imperishable. Here is the comfort at the center of the shabad.
A Question to Sit With
What does it feel like to imagine the deepest part of you never ends?
