Shabad — finding the Creator in gratitude
Today’s Shabad is a simple, profound reminder from Japji Sahib: every single thing we have comes from one Giver — Waheguru. The air we breathe, the food we eat, the people who love us, the colours of the sky — none of it was made by us. Gurbani invites us to pause and feel shukrana, gratitude, for the gifts we so easily forget. When we notice the gifts around us, our heart naturally turns toward the Creator.
Gurbani teaches us that Waheguru is in every gift we receive — the breath in our lungs, the food on our table, the people around us.
Watch together Guru Nanak & the Law of Karma ਸਭਨਾ ਜੀਆ ਕਾ, ਇਕੁ ਦਾਤਾ; ਸੋ ਮੈ ਵਿਸਰਿ ਨ ਜਾਈ ॥
Sabhnaa jeeaa kaa, ik daataa; so mai visar na jaa-ee
“There is but one Giver for all living beings — may I never forget the Creator.”
Ask: 'What is one thing you usually take for granted that you could say thank you for today?'
