Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The One lives inside everyone, quietly knowing every heart from within.

Through the Word, I come to feel that same One present everywhere and in every heart — there is truly no other.

When it pleases the One, He draws me close on His own; through the Word He becomes known, so I keep the Name near, day and night.

The same One lives inside every single heart, knowing it from within.
The deeper layer

antarjaamee — the inner-knower, the One who knows each heart from inside; ghat ghat ravi-aa so-ee, the same One in every heart. aapay la-ay milaa-ay: the uniting is His doing, received not forced. Knowing here is relational nearness, not information.

A Question to Sit With

What would change about how you treat people if you remembered the same One is inside them?
