ਜਾ ਕੈ ਸੂਤਿ ਪਰੋਏ ਜੰਤਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕਾ ਜਸੁ ਗਾਵਹੁ ॥
jaa kai soot paro-ay jantaa tis parabh kaa jas gaavhu.
All creatures are strung on His Thread; sing the Praises of that God.
ਸਿਮਰਿ ਠਾਕੁਰੁ ਜਿਨਿ ਸਭੁ ਕਿਛੁ ਦੀਨਾ ਆਨ ਕਹਾ ਪਹਿ ਜਾਵਹੁ ॥੧॥
simar thaakur jin sabh kichh deenaa aan kahaa peh jaavhu. ||1||
Meditate in remembrance on that Lord and Master who gives you everything. Why would you go to anyone else? ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Every living thing is strung along one single thread, like beads on a string, held by the One — so sing the praise of that One.
Remember the One who has already given you everything you have. Why would you go knocking on any other door?
Every living thing is a bead on the same single thread.
One thread holds every living thing together.
Jaa kai soot paro-ay jantaa — all creatures strung on one thread — is a vivid picture of the Oneness holding everything together. Jin sabh kichh deenaa — who gave everything — grounds gratitude; aan kahaa peh jaavhu, why go elsewhere, gathers scattered hope back to the One.
A Question to Sit With
If everyone is on the same thread, what does that make us to each other?
