Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I look at the earth beneath me and the sky above me, and I cannot find a second one anywhere. In every woman and every man, in all of it, the same Light is shining.
Look anywhere, at the earth, the sky, or any person, and the same Light is shining.
Guru Nanak takes a big idea and puts it where a child can see it. Dharan gagan nah daykh-a-u do-ay — in the earth and the sky, I do not see a second.
Naaree purakh sabaa-ee lo-ay — in women and in men, in everyone, the Light shines. He names both on purpose. Everyone is included, and women are honored. This wide welcome is very much Guru Nanak's way.
Think of one sun shining through many windows. Each window is a different shape, but the light is the same.
Where is the easiest place for you to actually see that “one Light” — in nature, or in people?
