Sikhism·Raag Maaroo·Shabad 58
Verse 3 of 5

In Every Heart

ਘਟਿ ਘਟੇ ਵਾਸੀ ਸਰਬ ਨਿਵਾਸੀ ਅਸਥਿਰੁ ਜਾ ਕਾ ਥਾਨੁ ਹੇ ॥੩॥
ghat ghatay vaasee sarab nivaasee asthir jaa kaa thaan hay. ||3||
He abides in each and every heart, and dwells in all; His seat and place are eternal. ||3||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The One lives inside every single heart, making a home in all that is.

And that resting-place never moves or fades.

The One lives inside every single heart.
The deeper layer

Ghat ghatay vaasee means the One lives in every single heart. Sarab nivaasee: at home in all that is. Asthir jaa kaa thaan: the One's resting place never moves.

Think of WiFi filling every room of a house at once. You do not have to go anywhere to find it. That is how the verse pictures God: inside every heart, and always steady.

A Question to Sit With

How might you treat others if the One lives in every heart?
