Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You, the Maker, know everything that stirs inside every being.
You Yourself are beyond all counting, while the whole world can be counted.
Everything moves by Your doing; everything is shaped by You.
You are the one Presence within every single heart, O true One — this is Your wondrous play.
Whoever meets the teaching meets the One, and no one can turn them away.
A Pauri of the Fourth Mehl of wide-open wonder at the One's presence. Its central paradox is exquisite: the Maker "is beyond all counting" (agnat), while everything made "can be counted" — the infinite one holding the countable many. The word chaltai — "wondrous play" — frames creation not as a burden or a test but as the One's own joyful unfolding, present ghat ghat ("in every single heart"). The verse closes with quiet assurance: whoever meets the teaching meets the One, and "no one can turn them away" — the doorway, once found, cannot be shut.
What feels too big to ever measure or count? And can you imagine that same vastness living quietly inside you?
