Sikhism·Raag Gauree·Shabad 128
Verse 4 of 5

The One Reaches Past Every Edge, Yet Knows You

ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਅਪਰੰਪਰ ਸੁਆਮੀ ॥
paarbarahm aprampar su-aamee.
O Supreme Lord God, Infinite Lord and Master,
ਸਗਲ ਘਟਾ ਕੇ ਅੰਤਰਜਾਮੀ ॥੩॥
sagal ghataa kay antarjaamee. ||3||
You are the Inner-knower, the Searcher of all hearts. ||3||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

O boundless One, master of everything, you reach past every edge.

And you know what is happening inside every single heart.

The One reaches past every edge and also knows what is inside every heart.
The deeper layer

The One is bigger than everything, and still knows what is in your heart.

Paarbarahm aprampar su-aamee — the Supreme One, the Master, aprampar. That word means beyond every limit, with no edge anywhere.

Sagal ghataa kay antarjaamee — the inner-knower of all hearts. Antarjaamee is the One who knows what is inside each of us.

Two sides are held together. The One goes on forever outside, and is also close inside every heart. The huge and the close are the same One. Think of the sky over the whole earth, which is also the air you breathe in right now.

A Question to Sit With

What feels bigger to you — that the One is everywhere, or that it knows you inside?
