Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Without the True One, no one gets across.
Only a rare few think this through and understand it.
No one gets across life's big river without the True One.
Bin har saachay ko paar na paavai — without the True One, no one reaches the other shore. Paar means across, to the far side.
Boojhai ko veechaaree — only a few, by thinking it through, understand this. Ko here means "rare ones."
This could sound sad, but it can also be a relief. Think of a small child trying to carry a heavy bag up the stairs. When a parent lifts it, the child is not a failure. The child can finally stop straining. Knowing you cannot cross alone means you can let yourself be carried.
When has admitting you needed help made things easier?
