Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Everywhere I turn my eyes, I see the same One -- in every kind of creature, in every corner.
You can follow all the special food rules you like -- eating only this, avoiding only that -- and still miss what your life is for. Fussing over rituals while your heart stays tangled in greed does not set you free.
What sets you free is living truthfully. That is the taste worth chasing.
A reflective verse between the days. jah daykh-au tah eko -- "wherever I look, the One" -- a recurring Gurbani line of pure oneness. falohaar / ras kas -- fruit-only and special fasting diets are gently critiqued: outer diet-rules are not the path; koorhai laalach (greed) is the trap that holds people. Freedom is saach kamaa-ay -- living the truth. The critique targets empty formalism, not any one tradition.
Have you ever followed a rule so carefully that you forgot why it mattered?
