Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
To the truly wise, everything is Truth — true understanding has opened in them.
He may set them wandering, but they do not go astray — for they know the True One.
A verse of quiet astonishment: the gi-aanee — the one in whom true understanding lives — sees sabh sach, everything as Truth: no event, however crooked its face, outside the True One's weave. And then the beautiful paradox that answers verse 5 completely: He may lead them astray — the detours still come, the map still fails — but they do not go astray, because the One they know is present on every wrong road too. You can misplace a path; you cannot misplace an omnipresence. The wise are not those who never wander; they are those for whom wandering has lost its power to separate.
When your plans went completely off-map, what — if anything — stayed constant?
