Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
On the thirteenth day, remember that the wisest, holiest words all proclaim one thing: recognize the One everywhere.
Look for it below and above, in the deepest places and the highest — the same One fills them all equally.
There is no high or low, no honored or unimportant. That measuring falls away entirely. The One is spread evenly through absolutely everything, leaving nothing and no one out.
Day thirteen, tayras (“thirteenth”): tayrah agam bakhaan — the sacred texts proclaim. aradh uradh bich sam pehchaan — recognize the One equally (sam) in the aradh (lower) and uradh (higher) regions. The great leveling line: neech ooch nahee maan amaan — there is no neech (low) or ooch (high), no maan (honor) or amaan (dishonor). bi-aapik raam sagal saamaan — the One pervades (bi-aapik) all things equally (saamaan). This is Kabir’s signature equality-teaching folded into a lunar day: since the One fills everything evenly, no person or place ranks above another.
If the same One lives equally in everyone, how should that change the way we treat people?
