I have seen the Lord to be on high; the Fascinating Lord is the highest of all.
ਆਨ ਨ ਸਮਸਰਿ ਕੋਊ ਲਾਗੈ ਢੂਢਿ ਰਹੇ ਹਮ ਮੂਚਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
aan na samsar ko-oo laagai dhoodh rahay ham moochaa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
No one else is equal to Him - I have made the most extensive search on this. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I have seen the One to be the highest of all; the enchanting One is above everything.
No one else is its equal — I have searched as widely as one can.
This isn't naive belief but a tested finding — searched everywhere, everything else fell short of the One.
The Pause line reports a conclusion reached by exhaustive search: "I have made the most extensive search on this," and found the One "the highest of all," beyond compare. This is not naive belief but a tested finding — the seeker looked everywhere and everything else fell short. The One's supremacy is offered as the end of an honest investigation.
A Question to Sit With
What have you concluded not by assumption but by honestly searching and comparing?
