Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Wherever I look now, there You are — and I am completely sure of it.
So who else would I turn to with my prayers? The One I would ask is already the One who hears everything, everywhere.
Once you feel close to the One, you start to see the One everywhere.
Jat kat daykh-a-u tat tat tum hee — wherever I look, there You are. Mohi ih bisu-aas ho-ay aa-i-o — this has become a deep trust in me. Bisvaas is trust that nothing can shake.
From that trust comes a quiet thought. Kai peh kara-o ardaas — to whom should I pray? Ardaas is a humble prayer. Ja-o sunto hai raghuraa-i-o — the One I would pray to is already the One who hears everything. Raghuraa-i-o is a name for the One, meaning "the King."
Think of calling someone on the phone, then finding them already sitting beside you. You do not need to dial. You can just talk. When you feel the One close everywhere, prayer stops being sent "up and away" to a faraway God.
Where is one place you'd never expect to find something wonderful, that surprised you by holding it anyway?
