Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Some rest absorbed in deep stillness, minds fixed in love on the One, dwelling only on the Word.
In that state there's no water, no land, no earth or sky — only the Creator itself.
In the deepest stillness, the many melt back into One.
sunn samaaDh raheh liv laagay — some rest in Samaadhi, a deep, quiet stillness, with their minds lovingly fixed on the One. They think only about the Word. In that state, jal thal Dharan gagan tah naahee — there is no water, land, earth or sky. Only the Creator is there.
This is how the saints describe becoming one with the One. It is not a place you travel to. It is a depth where everything separate goes quiet. Think of a noisy classroom going silent before a test. In the silence you can hear what was there all along. This is not being wiped out. It is the clearest seeing: what stays is the one reality underneath everything.
Have you ever gone so quiet inside that the busy world briefly fell away? What remained?
