He made them different, and he gazes upon them with pleasure; he placed all the flavors in the body. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One made this whole world like a great play, and set it all spinning with delight.
No two of us are shaped alike. Each person is their own kind of wonder, and the One looks on us with joy.
Every taste and feeling you could ever know was placed right inside you.
You were made unlike anyone else, on purpose, and looked upon with joy.
Creation is joyful play (khel). Diversity is a design, looked upon with pleasure, and the richness of life is set within us from the start.
