You belong to all, and all belong to You, O my true, deep and profound Lord and Master.
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਸੇਈ ਜਨ ਊਤਮ ਜੋ ਭਾਵਹਿ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਤੁਮ ਮਨਾ ॥੧੬॥੧॥੮॥
kaho naanak say-ee jan ootam jo bhaaveh su-aamee tum manaa. ||16||1||8||
Says Nanak, those humble beings are exalted, who are pleasing to Your Mind, O my Lord and Master. ||16||1||8||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You belong to everyone, and everyone belongs to You, my true, deep Master.
Nanak says, the ones who please Your mind are lifted high.
You belong to all, and all belong to You — no one is left outside.
Universal belonging comes last: too sabhnaa kaa, sabh ko tayraa — You belong to all, and all belong to You, the true and deep One. Those who are ootam, exalted, are simply the ones dear to the One — whose hearts have grown close. Belonging, not favoritism, is the closing note.
A Question to Sit With
What changes when you remember that everyone belongs, including you?
