All rests in the One, and the One rests in all — and the teaching lets you see it with your own eyes.
The Arc
Truth, self-control and steadiness can be planted inside you, like seeds, by the True Word. The Guru is kind and soaked in love, the way cloth soaks up a color that never washes out. Day and night, the Guru's heart stays on the One. From that high, clear place inside, the Guru looks at every person the same way. Everything lives in the One, and the One lives in everything. The Guru shows you this. One lamp lights another, and the light fills every world. The Guru plays a quiet harp in every heart. In the One's shelter, you are free, and the Guru is your true friend. At the centre, the Rahao: the kind Guru is always soaked in love, heart resting on the One day and night.

Themes and Cross-Connections
The equal gaze (samaisar) is Guru Nanak's teaching of equality lived from the inside: not a rule, but how an awakened heart sees. Together with the image of one lamp lighting another and the harp in every heart, it makes this one of the warmest hymns in Raamkalee.
For Raag Raamkalee
Among the yogic dialogues, this Dakhanee hymn takes the yogi's own emblems, the loincloth, the harp, the detached wanderer, with respect, and turns them into pictures of a heart full of love and of everyone belonging.
