Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Day fourteen. In all four directions, the One is present. Across every world, its shining goodness is complete.
Look in the ten directions — the same One is spread through them all. See it in the earth and the sky, in water and land, in forests and mountains and the deep places below. The kind, boundless One is right there in every one of them.
In the tiniest, most hidden things and in the biggest, most obvious ones — all of it is the One. Turn toward the teaching, and you begin to recognize it everywhere.
On the fourteenth day, the poem looks in every direction and finds the One in all of it, big and small.
Chaudeh means the fourteenth day. It echoes chaar kunt, the four directions. Then the verse takes a grand tour of everything: earth and sky, water and land, forests and mountains, the deep places below.
Its most beautiful pair of words is sookham asthool. That means the tiny and hidden, and the big and obvious. Sagal bhagvaan: all of it is the One. Think of the same water in a raindrop and in the whole ocean.
This echoes the poem's very first Shalok, jal thal maheeal poori-aa: the One fills water, land and sky. So this part of the journey ends where it started, with the One everywhere.
The last line is the key: gurmukh barahm pachhaan, the gurmukh recognizes the One. A gurmukh is someone who faces the teacher. Seeing the One everywhere does not just happen. It grows as you turn toward the teaching. The One is present everywhere. Noticing is the practice.
Where is one place — small or huge — where you could look for the One today and actually notice it?
