The One's Light Shines Inside Every Creature
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Your light shines inside every living creature, and every creature lives inside Your light. Your power fills everything.
You're wonderful, and singing about You is beautiful — anyone who sings it is carried safely across.
Nanak tells the stories of the Creator. Whatever the Creator means to do, the Creator does.
This verse gives a bright picture of how close the One is: the One's light is in every creature, and every creature is in the One's light.
Jaat meh jot jot meh jaataa — Your light is in Your creatures, and Your creatures are in Your light. It works both ways at once. The light is inside each being. And each being is held inside the light.
Think of a fish in the sea. The water is inside the fish, and the fish is inside the water. There is no real gap anywhere. The same brightness is within you and all around you.
The answer to that is simple and joyful. Your praise is beautiful, and whoever sings it is carried across. Nanak tells the Creator's stories, and whatever the Creator means to do, the Creator does.
The light you are looking for is inside you and everywhere around you. The way to feel it is not to figure it out, but to sing.
If the same light is inside you and all around you, how might that change how you feel about the world?
