Verse 16 of 16

One, and Only One, and Nothing But True

ਆਪੇ ਸਾਚਾ ਏਕੋ ਸੋਈ ॥
aapay saachaa ayko so-ee.
The One True Lord is all by Himself.
ਤਿਸੁ ਬਿਨੁ ਦੂਜਾ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਕੋਈ ॥
tis bin doojaa avar na ko-ee.
There is no one else except Him.
ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮਿ ਰਤੇ ਮਨੁ ਸਾਚਾ ਸਚੋ ਸਚੁ ਰਵੀਜੈ ਹੇ ॥੧੬॥੬॥
naanak naam ratay man saachaa sacho sach raveejai hay. ||16||6||
O Nanak, true is the mind of one who is attuned to the Naam; he speaks Truth, and nothing but Truth. ||16||6||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The one One is all there is, complete in itself.

There is no other, anywhere.

Nanak says, a mind tuned to the Naam grows true, and speaks truth, and nothing but truth.

A heart tuned to the One naturally grows true, all the way through.
The deeper layer

The One is all there is (ayko), and a mind tuned to the Naam becomes true (saachaa), all the way down to its speech.

A Question to Sit With

How does being tuned to something good change the way you speak and act?
