Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is spread through everything, living in every single heart; it is never stained — always spotless.
Nanak says: listen, everyone — the One lives on the tongues of the saints.
And here is the answer, and it dissolves the whole debate: the One is "pervading everywhere and dwelling in each heart" — the beyond-or-within argument was a false choice. It is not out there instead of in here, or in here instead of out there; it is both, filling all and within each (the same near/vast synthesis as Devgandhaari Shabad 42). And then the practical, beautiful final answer to "where can I find true news of my Beloved?": "He dwells upon the tongues of the Saints." The truest report of the One is found in the good company — in the words and presence of those who love it. So the soul's opening question ("tell me, tell me!") is answered: go where the Saints are speaking of the One, and there you will hear true.
Could the answer to 'is it out there or in here?' simply be 'both'? And where would you go to hear the truest word about what's good?
