ਕਾਹੇ ਭ੍ਰਮਤ ਹਉ ਤੁਮ ਭ੍ਰਮਹੁ ਨ ਭਾਈ ਰਵਿਆ ਰੇ ਰਵਿਆ ਸ੍ਰਬ ਥਾਨ ॥੧॥
kaahay bharmat ha-o tum bharmahu na bhaa-ee ravi-aa ray ravi-aa sarab thaan. ||1||
Why are you wandering around? O Siblings of Destiny, don't wander around; He is permeating and pervading everywhere. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Why wander about? Don't wander — it fills everywhere.
If the One is everywhere, there's nowhere to wander to find it — stop, and notice it's already here.
The verse draws the practical consequence of oneness: "why are you wandering around?... He is permeating and pervading everywhere." If the One is everywhere, there is nowhere to go to find it — the wandering search is pointless. Stop, and notice it is already here. The end of the search is the recognition that there was never anywhere to search to.
A Question to Sit With
Where are you 'wandering' to find something that might be right where you already are?
