All Is One in the One

ਜਹ ਤੇ ਉਠਿਓ ਤਹ ਹੀ ਆਇਓ ਸਭ ਹੀ ਏਕੈ ਏਕਾ ॥
jah tay uthi-o tah hee aa-i-o sabh hee aykai aykaa.
He is taken in again, into what from which he came; all is one in the One Lord.
ਨਾਨਕ ਦ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਆਇਓ ਸ੍ਰਬ ਠਾਈ ਪ੍ਰਾਣਪਤੀ ਹਰਿ ਸਮਕਾ ॥੨॥੪॥੨੭॥
naanak darisat aa-i-o sarab thaa-ee paraanpatee har samkaa. ||2||4||27||
O Nanak, I have come to see the Master of the breath of life, all-pervading everywhere. ||2||4||27||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

We return to the very place we came from; in the end, everything is one in the One.

Nanak says, now I see that One everywhere I look — in every place, in every breath.

Look closely enough at anything, and you find the same One shining through.
The deeper layer

Jah tay uthi-o tah hee aa-i-o — we return to where we rose from — and sabh hee aykai aykaa, all is one in the One. Then darisat aa-i-o sarab thaa-ee: the One comes into view everywhere, in every place and every breath. Being apart from the One was only ever a dream.

A Question to Sit With

Where do you notice the same wonder showing up in very different places?
