Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Wherever I look, there is the One, real and true. It’s only without that seeing that the world falls into quarreling and chasing what won’t last.
This one says that fighting comes from not yet seeing the One everywhere.
Jah jah daykh-a-u tah tah saachaa — "wherever I look, there is the True One."
Bin boojhay jhagrat jag kaachaa — "without understanding, the world quarrels in falsehood." Kaachaa means unripe, like fruit picked too early. It means not yet real.
Think of two kids fighting over a toy in a dark room. Turn on the light, and they see there are plenty of toys and a friend right beside them.
Quarreling is named as a sign of not-seeing yet. It is said gently, not as blame.
When people argue, what might they be forgetting to see in each other?
