Saarang, Fifth Mehl:
ਅਬ ਮੋਹਿ ਲਬਧਿਓ ਹੈ ਹਰਿ ਟੇਕਾ ॥
ab mohi labDhi-o hai har taykaa.
Now I have found the Support of my Lord.
ਗੁਰ ਦਇਆਲ ਭਏ ਸੁਖਦਾਈ ਅੰਧੁਲੈ ਮਾਣਿਕੁ ਦੇਖਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
gur da-i-aal bha-ay sukh-daa-ee anDhulai maanik daykhaa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The Guru, the Giver of peace, has become merciful to me. I was blind - I see the jewel of the Lord. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Now I have found the One to lean on.
The Guru, the giver of peace, has been kind to me. I was blind, and now I see the jewel.
Grace lets you see the jewel that was always there.
Har taykaa — the support of the One — is found, and the Guru, sukh-daaee, becomes kind. The image is of a blind person suddenly seeing a jewel: andhulai maanik daykhaa. This is Gurprasad — grace does not create the jewel; it lets you finally see what was always here, once you step out of the shadow.
A Question to Sit With
Has something wonderful ever been right in front of you long before you noticed it?
