Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Once you really see it, there is nothing anywhere that is not the One. The Creator is the doer behind every doing, the cause behind every cause.
Once you see the One in everything, there is no one left to compete with.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line. It is the center of the shabad, the idea the other verses circle. Bin gobind na deesai ko-ee — nothing is seen apart from Gobind, the Master of the world. Karan karaavan kartaa so-ee — the Creator is the doer, and the cause behind every cause.
This is the key to the whole shabad. Think of two players on the same team fighting over who scores. When they remember they wear the same jersey, the rivalry fades. In the same way, when you see the One in everyone, comparing and competing lose their grip.
How might you treat people differently if you saw the same Oneness shining in each of them?
