Verse 2 of 5

The One That Fills All Is Closest of All

ਐਸਾ ਮੇਰਾ ਰਾਮੁ ਰਹਿਆ ਭਰਪੂਰਿ ॥
aisaa mayraa raam rahi-aa bharpoor.
Such is my Lord, who is all-pervading everywhere.
ਨਿਕਟਿ ਵਸੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਹਰਿ ਦੂਰਿ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
nikat vasai naahee har door. ||1|| rahaa-o.
He dwells near at hand - the Lord is not far away. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

That is my One -- spread through everything, close at hand, never far away.

The One that fills everything is also the closest thing to you -- never far.
The deeper layer

The Rahao states a key truth of Maajh and beyond: the One is near, not distant. The non-dual litany is grounded in intimacy: the all-pervading One is also the closest thing there is.

A Question to Sit With

What helps you sense that the deepest things are near, not far away?
