Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Nanak says: I speak the Word of the One, sweet as nectar.
Apart from the One, I know no other at all.
Words grow sweet as nectar when the one speaking knows only the One.
Amrit banee means nectar words, speech as sweet and life-giving as nectar. Where do they come from? Ayk binaa doojaa nahee jaanee: he knows no one other than the One.
This is Ik Onkar lived out. Ik Onkar means "One Creator, one Oneness," the first words of the Guru Granth Sahib. It means everything comes from, and lives in, the One. Think of the ocean and its waves. The waves look like many things. But every wave is the same water. Words that come from knowing that feel sweet to hear.
What does it feel like to know something all the way through?
