Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You are the river of life. All living things are within You. There is no one who is outside You.
All living beings are Your playthings — expressions of Your nature.
Those who were separated find their way back. Those who suffered in the pain of separation — by great good fortune — are reunited.
The river metaphor is perfect: you cannot step outside a river while you are the river itself. There is no shore from which to observe it. All of creation — every living thing — is within the oneness, not floating alongside it.
The reunion of separated ones speaks to the experience of haumai (ego) — the illusion of separation. When the illusion dissolves, what seemed like a reunion was simply the recognition that the separation was never real. The river was always one river. The wave was always ocean.
Have you ever had the experience of feeling suddenly connected to something or someone after feeling distant from them — and it felt like coming home? What happened?
