ਗੁਪਤੇ ਬੂਝਹੁ ਜੁਗ ਚਤੁਆਰੇ ॥
guptay boojhhu jug chatu-aaray.
God is hidden throughout the four ages - understand this well.
ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਵਰਤੈ ਉਦਰ ਮਝਾਰੇ ॥
ghat ghat vartai udar majhaaray.
He pervades each and every heart, and is contained within the belly.
ਜੁਗੁ ਜੁਗੁ ਏਕਾ ਏਕੀ ਵਰਤੈ ਕੋਈ ਬੂਝੈ ਗੁਰ ਵੀਚਾਰਾ ਹੇ ॥੩॥
jug jug aykaa aykee vartai ko-ee boojhai gur veechaaraa hay. ||3||
The One and Only Lord prevails throughout the ages. How rare are those who contemplate the Guru, and understand this. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Through all the ages the One stays quietly hidden, present everywhere but unseen.
It lives inside every single heart, closer to you than your own breath.
The same One, only One, runs through every time and every being. When you grow still and reflect on the Guru's wisdom, you begin to sense it.
The One you are looking for is already hidden inside you.
Gupte (hidden) and ghat ghat vartai (pervading each heart) hold Maaroo's picture of the universe together: the One is both beyond all worlds and inside every chest. Only rare hearts, through gur veechaaraa (reflecting on the Guru's wisdom), come to feel this.
A Question to Sit With
Where do you go to get quiet enough to notice things?
