You are the River - all are within You.
ਤੁਝ ਬਿਨੁ ਦੂਜਾ ਕੋਈ ਨਾਹਿ ॥
tujh bin doojaa ko-ee naahi.
Other than You, there is no one at all.

All beings and creatures are your play-things.
ਵਿਜੋਗਿ ਮਿਲਿ ਵਿਛੁੜਿਆ ਸੰਜੋਗੀ ਮੇਲੁ ॥੨॥

The united ones are separated, and the separated ones are re-united. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You are the River — and all of us are within You.
Other than You, there is no one at all.
Every being and creature is part of Your play; the joined are parted, and the parted are joined again.
You are not standing beside the river of life — you are in it, made of the same water.
The luminous image: "You are the River — all are within You." We are not beside the One, watching it flow; we are in it, carried by it, made of it. This is Ik Onkar as a single current in which every life moves. The partings and reunions of life are ripples in one water — the wondrous play of the One.
A Question to Sit With
What does it feel like to think of yourself as part of one great flow, not separate from it?
