ਅੰਤਰਿ ਜੋਤਿ ਭਲੀ ਜਗਜੀਵਨ ॥
antar jot bhalee jagjeevan.
Deep within the nucleus of all, is the Light of the Life of the World.
ਸਭਿ ਘਟ ਭੋਗੈ ਹਰਿ ਰਸੁ ਪੀਵਨ ॥
sabh ghat bhogai har ras peevan.
The Lord enjoys the hearts of all, and drinks in their essence.
ਆਪੇ ਲੇਵੈ ਆਪੇ ਦੇਵੈ ਤਿਹੁ ਲੋਈ ਜਗਤ ਪਿਤ ਦਾਤਾ ਹੇ ॥੩॥
aapay layvai aapay dayvai tihu lo-ee jagat pit daataa hay. ||3||
He Himself gives, and He himself takes; He is the generous father of the beings of the three worlds. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Right at the heart of all things shines the light that gives the world its life.
The One delights in every heart and tastes the sweetness within each of us.
It gives freely and gathers back again, a generous parent to every being everywhere.
The light that gives the whole world life shines right at your center.
Antar jot bhalee jagjeevan — deep within shines the Light that is the life of the world. The One both gives and takes back, the jagat pit daataa, the generous parent of all three worlds — the same One present in every heart.
