ਸਭ ਮਹਿ ਸਚਾ ਏਕੋ ਸੋਈ ਤਿਸ ਕਾ ਕੀਆ ਸਭੁ ਕਛੁ ਹੋਈ ॥
sabh meh sachaa ayko so-ee tis kaa kee-aa sabh kachh ho-ee.
The One True Lord abides in all; by His making, everything is made.
ਹੁਕਮੁ ਪਛਾਨੈ ਸੁ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਨੈ ਬੰਦਾ ਕਹੀਐ ਸੋਈ ॥੩॥
hukam pachhaanai so ayko jaanai bandaa kahee-ai so-ee. ||3||
Whoever realizes the Hukam of His Command, knows the One Lord. He alone is said to be the Lord's slave. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one True One lives in all, and everything is made by the One's making.
Whoever knows the Hukam, the flow of life, knows the One, and is called the One's own servant.
To understand how life flows is to know the One — and to feel you belong to it.
Knowing the flow of life is knowing the One.
Sabh meh sachaa ayko — the one True is in all, and everything that comes to be flows from that One. To recognize Hukam, the flow of existence, is to know the One; and the one who knows it is bandaa, a servant, one who belongs to the One. Knowing and belonging turn out to be the same event: you understand the flow, and in the same moment you feel yourself inside it.
