Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Everyone says the One is the only One — and yet they stay wrapped up in ego and pride.
But look: the same One is inside you and outside you. The palace you're searching for is already within your own heart.
The One is near — never think it far. It fills the whole world, every corner.
There is only the One Creator, and no other at all. Nanak says: melt into the One.
Eko ek — everyone affirms the One with their words, yet lives in haumai, the ego. Prabh nayrhai har door na jaanhu — the One is near, not far. Ghar mahal sinjaapai — the Mansion of the Presence is recognized within the home of the heart. A landmark statement of immanence: the divine is not distant.
Where do you usually look for what you most want — outside yourself, or in?
