ਸਭੁ ਕਿਛੁ ਆਪੇ ਆਪਿ ਵਰਤੈ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮਿ ਵਡਿਆਈ ॥੨੧॥੩॥੧੨॥
sabh kichh aapay aap vartai naanak naam vadi-aa-ee. ||21||3||12||
He Himself pervades and permeates everything; O Nanak, glorious greatness is obtained through the Naam. ||21||3||12||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One alone moves through everything, everywhere — nothing left out.
Nanak says: greatness comes through the Naam.
The One is inside everything.
Sabh kichh aapay aap vartai — the One pervades and permeates all. There is nowhere the One is not, so the distance between the one who worships and the One who is worshipped disappears. Naam vadi-aa-ee — greatness through the Name.
The worship that began as something offered to the One ends with the One found in everything.
A Question to Sit With
If the One is in everything, how might that change the way you look at an ordinary day?
