Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whatever is to be done, the Lord is doing. No one else can do anything.
Those separated from Him for so long are reunited with Him once again by the True Teacher, who takes them into His Own Account.
He Himself assigns all to their tasks. Nothing else can be done.
This one says the One is doing all that gets done, and the Guru brings the lost ones home.
Jo kichh karnaa so kar rahi-aa — whatever is to be done, He is doing it. This doesn't mean people have no part to play. It means our part happens inside His doing, and by His Will.
Chiree vichhunay mayli-an — those apart from Him for a long time are joined again. Satgur pannai paa-ay: the True Guru writes them into His own book, as His own.
Think of a teacher on a field trip, counting each child back onto the bus. Nobody gets left behind. The Guru is like that. He looks after the ones who wandered off, gathers them up, and brings them home.
He Himself gives each of us our work. Nothing else can be done.
What does it feel like to let go of the idea that you are entirely responsible for making everything happen? What opens up when you hold that more lightly?
