Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
There is only One. And the One is found by the True Guru's grace — a gift that is always here, waiting for an open heart.
Just as the light of the sun's rays spreads out over everything,
so the One fills each and every heart, through and through.
The One reaches every heart the way sunlight reaches everything.
This song is by Guru Ram Das, the fourth Guru. It opens with the short blessing that begins many shabads: One Creator, known by the True Guru's grace. It is written ik tukay, in short one-line verses.
Ji-o pasree sooraj kiran jot — just as the light of the sun's rays spreads out, ti-o ghat ghat rama-ee-aa ot pot — so the One fills each heart, through and through.
Think of the sun on a summer morning. It lands on every roof, every tree and every face at once. It skips no one. The One's presence is like that. It is everywhere, and it is fair to all.
What is something, like sunlight, that reaches everyone equally?
