You Are in Every Heart

ਭੈਰਉ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ॥
bhairo mehlaa 4.
Bhairao, Fourth Mehl:
ਸਭਿ ਘਟ ਤੇਰੇ ਤੂ ਸਭਨਾ ਮਾਹਿ ॥
sabh ghat tayray too sabhnaa maahi.
All hearts are Yours, Lord; You are in all.
ਤੁਝ ਤੇ ਬਾਹਰਿ ਕੋਈ ਨਾਹਿ ॥੧॥
tujh tay baahar ko-ee naahi. ||1||
There is nothing at all except You. ||1||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

All hearts are Yours, O One; You are inside every one of them.

There is nothing at all outside of You.

You are in every heart — nothing at all is outside of You.
The deeper layer

Every heart belongs to the One, and nothing at all is outside the One.

Sabh ghat tayray: all hearts are Yours. Too sabhnaa maahi: You are inside all of them. Guru Ram Das, the fourth Guru, says it simply: tujh tay baahar ko-ee naahi, there is nothing outside You.

Think of the ocean and its waves. Every wave has its own shape, and every wave is ocean. This is Ik Onkar, the One in everything.

A Question to Sit With

Where have you unexpectedly noticed something sacred?
