Sikhism·Raag Raamkalee·Shabad 95
Verse 5 of 22

Everyone Given Their Own Work

ਆਪੇ ਸਾਜੇ ਸ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਉਪਾਏ ਸਿਰਿ ਸਿਰਿ ਧੰਧੈ ਲਾਈ ॥੪॥
aapay saajay sarisat upaa-ay sir sir DhanDhai laa-ee. ||4||
He Himself fashions and creates the creation; He links each and every person to their task. ||4||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The One shapes the whole world and everything in it.

And to each person the One gives their own work to do, their own part to play.

Everyone is given their own part to play.
The deeper layer

Sir sir dhandhai laaee — each head, each person, given their own task. Every life has its place and purpose in the making.

A Question to Sit With

What work feels like it is yours to do?
