The Life Inside Every Life

ਸਭ ਮਹਿ ਜੀਉ ਜੀਉ ਹੈ ਸੋਈ ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਰਹਿਆ ਸਮਾਈ ॥
sabh meh jee-o jee-o hai so-ee ghat ghat rahi-aa samaa-ee.
He is the life of the soul in each and every soul; He permeates and pervades each and every heart.
ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦਿ ਘਰ ਹੀ ਪਰਗਾਸਿਆ ਸਹਜੇ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਮਾਈ ॥੭॥
gur parsaad ghar hee pargaasi-aa sehjay sahj samaa-ee. ||7||
By Guru's Grace, He is revealed within the home of my heart; I am intuitively, naturally, absorbed into Him. ||7||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The One is the life of every life, filling each and every heart.

By the Guru's grace, the One shines out inside the home of my heart, and easily, naturally, I am absorbed into the One.

The One you look for is the very life looking out through your eyes.
The deeper layer

The One is the life inside every living thing, including you.

Sabh meh jee-o jee-o hai so-ee — the One is the life in every life. Ghat ghat rahi-aa samaa-ee — present in every single heart. The One is not somewhere far off. The One lives inside.

Gur parsaad ghar hee pargaasi-aa — by the Guru's grace, the One shines out inside the home of my heart. The divine is found within, not outside.

Sehjay sahj samaa-ee — and I settle in, easily and naturally. It takes no strain. It is like water finding its own level in a glass.

A Question to Sit With

What changes when you imagine the same life is inside every person you meet?
