ਪਉਣੁ ਪਾਣੀ ਸੁੰਨੈ ਤੇ ਸਾਜੇ ॥
pa-un paanee sunnai tay saajay.
From this Primal Void, He fashioned air and water.
ਸ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਉਪਾਇ ਕਾਇਆ ਗੜ ਰਾਜੇ ॥
sarisat upaa-ay kaa-i-aa garh raajay.
He created the universe, and the king in the fortress of the body.
ਅਗਨਿ ਪਾਣੀ ਜੀਉ ਜੋਤਿ ਤੁਮਾਰੀ ਸੁੰਨੇ ਕਲਾ ਰਹਾਇਦਾ ॥੨॥
agan paanee jee-o jot tumaaree sunnay kalaa rahaa-idaa. ||2||
Your Light pervades fire, water and souls; Your Power rests in the Primal Void. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Out of that deep stillness the One shaped air and water.
The One made the whole universe, and set your true self like a king inside the fortress of your body.
The One's light glows in fire and water and in every living soul, and its power rests quietly in the stillness.
The One's light glows in everything, resting on deep stillness.
From 'sunn' come the elements and the body-fortress with the soul as its king. The One's light (jot) pervades fire, water, and every soul, while its power rests in the stillness at the root of all.
A Question to Sit With
Where do you notice a bit of the One's light around you?
