Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Every great power anyone has ever had — the ability to be completely truthful, the capacity to love without limit, every miracle, every miraculous gift of the Siddhas — none of it came from the person who had it.
It came through them. From the source. By grace.
You cannot earn it. You cannot force it. And once it flows, nothing can stop it.
This is a radical equalizer. The Siddhas were legendary masters — human beings who had developed extraordinary powers through lifelong discipline. Guru Nanak is not dismissing their achievement. He is saying their achievement was not theirs. It flowed through them from the source.
This connects directly to Gurprasad (grace) from the philosophy of this project. Grace is not a reward for accumulating enough virtue. It flows — like a river that was already moving before you arrived at the bank. What discipline does is clear away the obstructions. But the river was always there.
Can you think of a time when something came through you that felt bigger than you — something you said or did that surprised even yourself? Where do you think that came from?
