ਸਭ ਮਹਿ ਵਰਤੈ ਏਕੁ ਅਨੰਤਾ ॥
sabh meh vartai ayk anantaa.
The Infinite One is pervading among all.
ਤਾ ਤੂੰ ਸੁਖਿ ਸੋਉ ਹੋਇ ਅਚਿੰਤਾ ॥
taa tooN sukh so-o ho-ay achintaa.
So sleep in peace, and don't worry.
ਓਹੁ ਸਭੁ ਕਿਛੁ ਜਾਣੈ ਜੋ ਵਰਤੰਤਾ ॥੨॥
oh sabh kichh jaanai jo vartantaa. ||2||
He knows everything which happens. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The endless One fills everything. So sleep in peace, and stop worrying. The One knows everything that happens.
Sleep in peace and stop worrying -- the One who fills everything knows everything.
One of Guru Arjan's most consoling verses: sleep in peace, do not worry -- because the Infinite One pervades all and knows everything. Trust replaces anxiety (Ik Onkar). The line is offered as consolation -- rest in the One who fills all and knows all -- rather than as a judgment on every worry we carry.
A Question to Sit With
What would help you "sleep in peace" instead of turning a worry over and over?
