Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is somehow both many and single. The One plays in a thousand different forms, in everyone and everything. So it is, and so it will always be.
So serve that great One, and take your understanding from the Guru.
The One is both single and many at the same time.
Jin anik ayk baho rang kee-ay means the One, who is many and also One, made countless colors and forms. Hai hosee ayh means this is how it is, and how it always will be. Think of sunlight on a hundred windows. Each window shines in its own way, but it is all one sun. Gurbani calls this aapay: the One is all of it, Himself.
So what do we do? Kar sayvaa tis paarbarahm gur tay mat layh means serve that Supreme One, and take your understanding from the Guru. Paarbarahm means the One beyond everything. Sayvaa, or seva, means serving with love. And the Guru, the true teacher, shows us how.
Where do you notice the same goodness showing up in very different people?
