Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
All the searchers and wise ones look and look for the One — yet only a rare few see.
But here is the wonder: the One's Name is precious to the whole universe, every corner of it. And that same One, whom everything longs for, is the dearest thing in my own small heart too.
The One the whole universe longs for is also the dearest thing in one small heart.
SaaDhik siDh sagal mun chaaheh birlay kaahoo deethulaa: all the seekers, the siDh (people of great spiritual power) and the silent sages long for the One, but only a birlaa, a rare one, truly sees. Sagal bhavan tayro naam baalhaa: Your Name is dear to the whole universe.
Ti-o naamay man beethulaa: and so Beethal is dear to Namdev's mind. Beethal, or Vithal, is the name Namdev used for the One. It is one of the many names for the single reality. Think of a song people sing all over the world. It can still feel as if it was written just for you.
Isn't it amazing that the biggest thing of all can also feel personal and close?
