Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one One lives inside everyone.
Through the Guru's teaching, it shines out in the heart. Whoever, in natural ease, knows and recognizes the One receives the Name, and the mind is finally at peace.
The same One lives in everyone, and knowing it brings the mind to rest.
This verse closes the shabad. Sabh meh vasai prabh ayko so-ay — the one One lives in all. It is the same picture as the Aartee, Guru Nanak's song of the one Light in everyone, now said again in Guru Amar Das's voice. Think of one sun shining in a hundred puddles after the rain. Many puddles, one sun.
This truth shows itself gurmatee, through the Guru's teaching. A person who recognizes the One sehjay, naturally and easily, naam milai man maani-aa: receives the Name, and the mind is content, at peace with itself at last.
How might your day feel different if you remembered the same One is in everyone you meet?
