Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You are wise and all-seeing, filling everything everywhere.
You are the master and the servant both; You are the pure, the true, the untouched. You spread out the whole universe and then play inside it Yourself.
Anyone blessed with the Guru's teaching walks free, and everyone walks the way You gently move them.
The One plays every part, from inside.
The One is inside every role in the play — lord and servant, worshipper and worshipped. 'Nothing is under the control of the created beings' brings relief: you can rest in a flow far larger than the small self.
A Question to Sit With
