Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
One and the same Oneness moves and lives inside every single being. When the ego forgets this and thinks itself all alone and separate, it wanders and wanders, never quite at home.
The same One lives in everyone. Forgetting that is what leaves us wandering, never quite home.
Sarab jee-aa meh ayko ravai — the One moves through all beings. This is Ik Onkar, the single Oneness present in everyone.
The other side is the manmukh ahankaaree. A manmukh is a person facing their own wants instead of the Guru. Ahankaar means pride. Such a person fir joonee bhavai, keeps wandering from life to life. The same words also describe the restlessness of a self that has forgotten it belongs to the whole. Think of one player who forgets they are part of a team, and keeps running around alone.
The cure is simply remembering. The same One is in you and in everyone.
If the same Oneness is inside every person you meet, how might that change the way you treat them?
