Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is everything, truly everything — without it, there is nothing at all.
Like a single thread running through a whole necklace of beads, the One runs through the entire world.
The Pause gives Naam Dayv's central vision and its perfect image: God is everything; without God, there is nothing — and as one thread holds hundreds and thousands of beads, He is woven into His creation. Picture a necklace: many separate-looking beads, but one thread runs through them all, holding them together, present inside every single one. That's how the One is present in the world — every person, every creature, every thing is a 'bead,' and one presence runs through them all, connecting everything. It's one of the most beautiful and graspable images of unity in all of scripture. For a child: everything that seems separate is actually strung on one thread — the One is the thread running through all of it, and through you.
If everyone and everything is a 'bead' on one thread, what does that mean about how we're all connected?
