Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
There is so much about life and its endings that I cannot explain or track — where things go, how it all works.
And instead of scaring me, that mystery fills me with wonder, because the same One is woven through absolutely everything. What a marvel that is.
This verse looks at the biggest mystery of all, and finds wonder in it instead of fear.
Dayhee bhasam rulaa-ay na jaapee kah ga-i-aa: the body goes back to dust, and no one can tell where the soul has gone. The verse says this honestly. There is a lot about life and its endings that no one can explain.
Aapay rahi-aa samaa-ay so vismaad bha-i-aa: the One is woven through everything, and this is vismaad. Vismaad means a deep, happy wonder, the feeling of standing under a sky full of stars. The same One is in all of it.
So the mystery is not something to be afraid of. It becomes awe.
What is something mysterious that fills you with wonder instead of worry?
