Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I have seen that One with my own eyes, everywhere.
The Giver of peace, the Giver of souls — its speech is pure nectar.
"I have seen the One everywhere, with my eyes" — this is not metaphor stretched thin; it is the description of a shift in perception. The same world, the same eyes, but now the One is visible in everything rather than hidden behind it. This is what Ik Onkar becomes when it stops being a belief and turns into sight (echoing the brahm giani who "sees only the One,"). The One is not seen instead of the world; it is seen as the world, in and through every ordinary thing. And its "speech is nectar" — the teaching itself tastes sweet to one who has begun to see this way.
Can the way you look at something completely change what you see, even when the thing itself hasn't changed?
