Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Suddenly the whole world felt kinder to me, once that mercy came.
So I stay close to the One who ends pain — and what a vast, astonishing goodness it is.
A subtle psychological truth is tucked in here: "All beings and creatures have become kind to me." When your own inner state shifts toward peace and trust, the world itself seems to soften — not because everyone changed, but because you're no longer meeting them from fear and grasping. Guru Arjan ends in wonder ("His glory is so great!") — the natural overflow of a grateful heart that has just been carried through something hard.
Have you noticed that when you're at peace inside, people around you seem friendlier? Why might that be?
