ਆਪੇ ਸਤਿ ਸਤਿ ਸਤਿ ਸਾਚਾ ॥
aapay sat sat sat saachaa.
The True Lord Himself is True, True, True.
ਓਤਿ ਪੋਤਿ ਭਗਤਨ ਸੰਗਿ ਰਾਚਾ ॥
ot pot bhagtan sang raachaa.
He is woven into the essence of His devotees, through and through.
ਆਪੇ ਗੁਪਤੁ ਆਪੇ ਹੈ ਪਰਗਟੁ ਅਪਣਾ ਆਪੁ ਪਸਾਰਣਾ ॥੪॥
aapay gupat aapay hai pargat apnaa aap pasaarnaa. ||4||
He Himself is hidden, and He Himself is revealed. He Himself spreads Himself out. ||4||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You Yourself are True, True, True.
You are woven into Your devotees, through and through.
You Yourself are hidden, and You Yourself are seen. You spread Yourself out as everything.
The One is woven into the devotees the way threads are woven into cloth.
Sat sat sat — the One is True, True, True. It is woven ot-pot (warp and weft) into its devotees, threaded all the way through. Sometimes gupat (hidden), sometimes pargat (revealed) — both are the same One spreading itself out. The weaving image points at how close, not how distant, the One is.
A Question to Sit With
What is something true that is woven so deeply into you it is hard to see?
