Dayv-Gandhaaree, Fifth Mehl:
ਸੋ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਜਤ ਕਤ ਪੇਖਿਓ ਨੈਣੀ ॥
so parabh jat kat paykhi-o nainee.
I have seen that God with my eyes everywhere.
ਸੁਖਦਾਈ ਜੀਅਨ ਕੋ ਦਾਤਾ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਜਾ ਕੀ ਬੈਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
sukh-daa-ee jee-an ko daataa amrit jaa kee bainee. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The Giver of peace, the Giver of souls, His Speech is Ambrosial Nectar. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I have seen that One everywhere, with my own eyes.
Giver of peace, giver of souls — its speech is pure nectar.
Once the eyes are cleared, the One isn't hidden but obvious — seen everywhere, in everything.
The Pause line is a report of direct vision: "I have seen that God with my eyes everywhere." Not deduced, not believed on authority — seen, in everything. This is the raag's non-dual perception realized: once the eyes are cleared, the One is not hidden but obvious, present in all. And its "speech" — the teaching — is "nectar," sweet to receive.
A Question to Sit With
What might you 'see everywhere' if your eyes were cleared of the habit of looking past it?
