Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one who serves the One becomes like the One.
Don't think they are different just because they have a human body.
Waves rise from the water in many shapes, and then the water merges back into water.
Har kaa sayvak so har jayhaa — the one who serves the One becomes like the One; do not mistake them for different because of their human body. Then the most beautiful image of all: ji-o jal tarang — as waves rise in countless forms and then sallai salal samaa-idaa, water merges back into water. It is a clear picture of haumai, the sense of a separate self, dissolving: the wave never stopped being ocean, and settling back is homecoming, not loss.
If everyone is a wave of the same ocean, how does that change how you see a stranger?
