All Your servants serve You; Nanak is a humble servant at Your Door. ||5||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In plain words
You have no shape and no color, no class and no race.
People imagine You are far away, but You are as plain as day — enjoying Yourself in every single heart, and no dust of the world ever clings to You.
Among everything called holy, You are the most holy; how could my one small tongue ever praise You enough?
Whoever You unite with the Guru is saved, along with every generation of the family. All Your servants serve You. Nanak says: I am a humble servant at Your door.
The One has no class or color, so neither should the way we treat each other.
The deeper layer
The One belongs to no caste, no race, no group. That means every division humans draw between each other is a fiction. The One is not distant but 'obviously apparent,' delighting in every heart.
A Question to Sit With
Why do you think people sometimes act like the divine is far away?
