When the One Fills Your Sight, No Other Remains

ਜਿਉ ਭਾਵੈ ਤਿਉ ਰਾਖੁ ਰਾਖਣਹਾਰਿਆ ॥
ji-o bhaavai ti-o raakh raakhanhaari-aa.
As it pleases Your Will, please save me, O Savior Lord.
ਤੁਝ ਬਿਨੁ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਕੋਇ ਨਦਰਿ ਨਿਹਾਰਿਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
tujh bin avar na ko-ay nadar nihaari-aa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Without You, my eyes see no other at all. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

As it pleases Your Will, please save me, O Savior Lord.

Without You, my eyes see no other at all.

When the One fills your sight, there is simply no other to look to.
The deeper layer

The Pause: salvation "as it pleases Your Will" — the soul does not dictate terms — and the simple love-statement, "without You, my eyes see no other." When the One fills the sight, there is no rival to look to.

A Question to Sit With

What do you see everywhere, once you start looking for it?
