One Breath Singing Through Every Heart

ਬਾਜਹਿ ਬਾਜੇ ਧੁਨਿ ਆਕਾਰਾ ॥
baajeh baajay Dhun aakaaraa.
The musical instruments of the body vibrate and resound.
ਆਪਿ ਵਜਾਏ ਵਜਾਵਣਹਾਰਾ ॥
aap vajaa-ay vajaavanhaaraa.
The Player Himself plays them.
ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਪਉਣੁ ਵਹੈ ਇਕ ਰੰਗੀ ਮਿਲਿ ਪਵਣੈ ਸਭ ਵਜਾਇਦਾ ॥੪॥
ghat ghat pa-un vahai ik rangee mil pavnai sabh vajaa-idaa. ||4||
The breath flows equally through the hearts of each and every being. Receiving the breath, all the instruments sing. ||4||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Your body is like an instrument, and the One is the player who makes it sound.

The very same breath flows through every single being alike, and with that breath, all of us, together, are singing.

The same breath flows through every being, and with it, all of us are singing.
The deeper layer

One breath flows equally through every heart, and all beings are instruments played by the One. Every creature shares that same breath.

A Question to Sit With

Does it change anything to remember the same breath moves through everyone?
