Verse 2 of 5

All Beings Belong to the One, Most Real of All

ਨਾਨਕ ਕਾ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਸੋਇ ਜਿਸ ਕਾ ਸਭੁ ਕੋਇ ॥
naanak kaa parabh so-ay jis kaa sabh ko-ay.
He alone is Nanak's God, unto whom all beings belong.
ਸਰਬ ਰਹਿਆ ਭਰਪੂਰਿ ਸਚਾ ਸਚੁ ਸੋਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
sarab rahi-aa bharpoor sachaa sach so-ay. ||1|| rahaa-o.
He is totally pervading everywhere, the Truest of the True. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

He alone is Nanak's God, to whom all beings belong.

He is totally pervading everywhere, the Truest of the True.

All beings belong to the One who is everywhere and most real of all.
The deeper layer

The Pause: the One "to whom all beings belong," "pervading everywhere," "the Truest of the True" (sachiaar). All beings are His, He is in all, and He is the most real of all real things. Belonging, immanence, and reality in one breath.

A Question to Sit With

What does it change to know everyone belongs to the same One?
