Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One made everything and holds the whole world up with a caring hand.
It's a safe shelter, full of mercy, giving peace.
Its color and shape can't be pictured — it's more than any words can hold.
Guru Arjan opens: "God is the all-powerful Creator... He preserves the whole world, reaching out with His hand." The image of the One holding up the world with an outstretched hand is tender and strong at once. It is "a safe Sanctuary, Treasure of mercy," beyond all picturing ("His color and shape cannot be seen"). For a child: the One holds up the whole world with a caring hand, like a safe shelter for everyone.
What does it feel like to imagine the whole world being held up by caring hands?
