Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One alone fills every place.
Through the Guru's Word we meet the One and melt into the One, O my mother.
The One fills every place, and the Guru's Word is how you meet the One.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Ayko har ravi-aa sarab thaa-ay — the One fills every place. There is no corner where the One is not.
Then comes the way home. Gur sabdee milee-ai mayree maa-ay — through the Guru's Word we meet the One, O my mother. The tender call "O my mother" is also heard in the songs of Guru Amar Das.
Think of air. It fills every room of a house, even the ones you never visit. The Guru's Word is how you notice you have been breathing it all along.
Where is a place you feel most sure you are not alone?
