Verse 3 of 5

Deep Inside Everyone

ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਏਕੋ ਹਰਿ ਸੋਇ ॥
ghat ghat antar ayko har so-ay.
The One Lord is deep within each and every heart.
ਗੁਰਿ ਮਿਲਿਐ ਇਕੁ ਪ੍ਰਗਟੁ ਹੋਇ ॥੨॥
gur mili-ai ik pargat ho-ay. ||2||
Meeting with the Guru, the One Lord becomes manifest, radiating forth. ||2||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Deep inside each and every heart is the same One.

When you meet the Guru, the One shines out, plain to see.

The One is already inside you; the Guru helps you see it shine.
The deeper layer

The One is inside every heart, and the Guru helps it shine out.

Ghat ghat antar ayko har so-ay — deep within each heart is the same One. Gur mili-ai ik pargat ho-ay — meeting the Guru, the One becomes pargat, shining and plain to see.

Think of a glow-in-the-dark star on your ceiling. It was there all day. Turn off the lights, and suddenly you see it glow. The light was always there. The Guru helps you see it.

A Question to Sit With

What is something good that was inside you all along before you noticed it?
