O mother, I focus my consciousness on the Guru's feet.
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is inside, and the One is outside; the One fills everything there is.
Within the heart, beyond the heart, in every single place — the whole One is found, complete, everywhere.
This is Ik Onkar stated with beautiful plainness. The One is not somewhere — up in a heaven, off in a temple. It is inside you, outside you, filling every place completely. There is no location where it is more present and no place where it is absent. For a child this is the deepest comfort: you are never somewhere the One isn't. You cannot travel away from it or be left out of it. And it dissolves the false picture of a God who watches from a distance — there is no distance. The One is the very medium you live in, closer than your own breath.
If the One is in every single place, is there anywhere you could go to be away from it?
