ਸਭਨਾ ਨਦਰਿ ਏਕ ਹੈ ਆਪੇ ਫਰਕੁ ਕਰੇਇ ॥
sabhnaa nadar ayk hai aapay farak karay-i.
The One Lord grants His Grace to all; He Himself makes distinctions.
ਨਾਨਕ ਸਤਗੁਰਿ ਮਿਲਿਐ ਫਲੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਡਾਈ ਦੇਇ ॥੪॥੨॥
naanak satgur mili-ai fal paa-i-aa naam vadaa-ee day-ay. ||4||2||
O Nanak, meeting the True Guru, the fruits are obtained, and one is blessed with the Glorious Greatness of the Naam. ||4||2||

The same kindness reaches toward everyone — and shapes each of us in just the way we need.
Meeting real wisdom, the good fruit comes, and the beautiful Name feels like a gift.
The same kindness reaches toward everyone — and shapes each of us in just the way we need.
The shabad closes: "the One grants His Grace to all; He Himself makes distinctions." Grace is offered to everyone — universal — even as the One shapes each life uniquely. Meeting the Guru, "the fruits are obtained," and one is "blessed with the Glorious Greatness of the Naam." The overall arc: from first to last, the good life is grace-carried, and that grace is for all.
A Question to Sit With
How might the same kindness look a little different for each different person?
