Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Rare is the one who is given wisdom like this.
Wherever I go, there I see the One.
Seeing the One everywhere is rare, and it comes as a gift.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line. It is the center of the shabad, the idea everything else circles around.
Aiso gi-aan birlo ee paa-ay means few people receive this kind of wisdom. Gi-aan means deep knowing. It is not a prize you win by being clever. It comes as a gift, by grace.
Jat jat jaa-ee-ai tat daristaa-ay means wherever I go, there I see the One. Think of a hidden-picture puzzle. Once you spot the shape, you can never un-see it. The rest of this shabad shows that same seeing, one angle at a time.
What is something you could not un-see once someone finally showed it to you?
