Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Wherever I look, He is there. I know no other at all.
Working for the Guru, one comes to know the Mansion of His Presence.
This is the pause line, the Rahao, the center of the shabad. It says: wherever I look, He is there.
The words are very simple. Wherever I look, He. There are no exceptions. No map of holy places and ordinary places. The seeing itself has changed, so every direction now faces the One.
Think of putting on glasses for the first time. The trees did not change. Your eyes did, and now every leaf is clear.
The second line ties this seeing to work. Gur kee kaar means the Guru's work, service done like an apprentice learning a craft. That is how the "Mansion of the Lord's Presence" stops being an idea and becomes a real place you know. The seeing is a gift. But the gift is received by hands that serve.
If the One were present in every direction you looked today, how would you treat what you see?
