Sikhism·Raag Raamkalee·Shabad 89
Verse 6 of 11

All in the One, the One in All

ਏਕ ਮਹਿ ਸਰਬ ਸਰਬ ਮਹਿ ਏਕਾ ਏਹ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਦੇਖਿ ਦਿਖਾਈ ॥੫॥
ayk meh sarab sarab meh aykaa ayh satgur daykh dikhaa-ee. ||5||
All are in the One, and the One is in all. This is what the True Guru has shown me. ||5||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Everything rests inside the One, and the One lives inside everything.

This is what the True Guru has shown me.

You and everything around you are all one thing, showing itself in many forms.
The deeper layer

Everything is inside the One, and the One is inside everything.

Ayk meh sarab, sarab meh aykaa — all in the One, the One in all. It is the plainest way to say Ik Onkar: there is One. Think of the ocean and its waves: every wave is in the ocean, and the ocean is in every wave. Satgur daykh dikhaa-ee — the True Guru showed it. It is something to see, not only to argue about.

A Question to Sit With

Where have you glimpsed that everything is quietly connected?
