ਭਵਜਲਿ ਡੂਬਤ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਕਾਢੈ ॥
bhavjal doobat satgur kaadhai.
The True Guru saves the drowning being from the terrifying world-ocean.
ਜਨਮ ਜਨਮ ਕਾ ਟੂਟਾ ਗਾਢੈ ॥੨॥
janam janam kaa tootaa gaadhai. ||2||
He reunites those who were separated for countless incarnations. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When you feel like you are slipping under, the teaching reaches out and carries you across the wide waters.
It reunites what felt long separated — bringing you home to a belonging you thought you had lost.
What felt long separated can be brought home again.
bhavjal doobat satgur kaadhai — the satgur draws the sinking one from the bhavjal (world-ocean). janam janam kaa tootaa gaadhai — the long-tootaa (broken/separated) is rejoined. Rescue and reunion, gently framed.
A Question to Sit With
Have you ever reconnected with someone or something you thought you had lost?
