ਆਤਮ ਰਾਮੁ ਰਵਿਆ ਸਭ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਕਤ ਆਵੈ ਕਤ ਜਾਈ ਸੰਤਹੁ ॥੫॥
aatam raam ravi-aa sabh antar kat aavai kat jaa-ee santahu. ||5||
The Lord, the Supreme Soul, is permeating within all; what comes, and what goes, O Saints? ||5||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One, the deepest soul of all, lives inside everyone and everything.
So who is it that comes, and who is it that goes, O saints?
If the One is everywhere, there is nowhere you need to rush to.
Aatam raam ravi-aa sabh antar — the Supreme Soul pervading within all. If the One is already everywhere, then kat aavai kat jaa-ee — the coming and going, the endless anxious movement — loses its grip. There is nowhere to get to that you are not already held within.
A Question to Sit With
How does it change things to notice that what you seek is already here?
