Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

My perfect Teacher is the giver of peace — the doer, the cause behind all things, the shaper of everything.

So sing His goodness in joy and delight; cheers ring out across the world, for the One has become our guardian.

Private relief naturally spills over into shared joy.
The deeper layer

The pause-line: karan kaaran samrath — the doer and the cause of causes. Jai jai kaar is shouts of joy, a whole community’s relief and gladness. Sorath often turns private healing into shared celebration.

A Question to Sit With

When has good news for one person become a celebration for everyone?
