Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
It is easy to get caught up in wanting, avoiding, and drifting. These everyday pulls keep us busy and a little restless.
But there is a calmer, deeper place beyond all that. From there you see with one fair and even gaze. The same One shines in every single person, no one higher, no one lower.
From a calm place inside, you see everyone as equal.
Tarai gun maa-i-aa: the three gun, or pulls, of Maya, the world's dazzle. Think of them as wanting, avoiding and drifting. They keep people caught up in clinging. Turee-aa gun is the fourth state, a calm, deep place beyond those three pulls. It is also called sahj, easy peace, and the gurmukh, one who faces the Guru, reaches it.
From there comes ayk darisat sabh sam kar jaanai: one fair eye that sees everyone as equal. Sabh barahm pasra-ee-aa: the One is spread through all. Think of the sun, which shines on every house the same. This is a strong verse about equality and oneness.
What would change if you looked at everyone as equal -- no one above, no one below?
