The Closing Saloks, Savaiye The Great Play

If the One is playing every part, then there is no true stranger and no true enemy anywhere.

The Arc

A Vaahiguroo verse marveling at the great play in which the One takes every role — laughing and thinking, sun and moon, water and land, male and female, the chess pieces and the board.

Key Vocabulary

tamaasaa — the delightful play, spectacle. aapay nar aapay fun naaree — the One is both male and female. aapay saar aap hee paasaa — both the pieces and the board.

Themes and Cross-Connections

Existence as the One's joyful game; the divine beyond gender (quietly woman-honoring); nothing standing outside the One, so no true opponent anywhere.

For the Closing Saloks

The section's fullest expression of the One-in-everything vision.

Translation Notes

The One as both male and female foregrounded as woman-honoring: the feminine is fully the One, not a lesser reflection.
