The Perfect Lord and Master is pervading the water, the land and the sky, in each and every heart.
ਜਿਸ ਤੇ ਉਪਜਿਆ ਤਿਸੁ ਮਾਹਿ ਸਮਾਇਆ ਕੀਮਤਿ ਕਹਣੁ ਨ ਜਾਏ ॥
jis tay upji-aa tis maahi samaa-i-aa keemat kahan na jaa-ay.
I have merged again into the One from whom I originated. The value of this cannot be described.
ਜਿਸ ਕੇ ਚਲਤ ਨ ਜਾਹੀ ਲਖਣੇ ਨਾਨਕ ਤਿਸਹਿ ਧਿਆਏ ॥੪॥੨॥
jis kay chalat na jaahee lakh-nay naanak tiseh Dhi-aa-ay. ||4||2||
Nanak meditates on Him. ||4||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In plain words
A clear knowing rises in me: the same One is here and everywhere, now and always.
When the One within meets the One, no one can ever pull them apart.
Wonder is what I see; wonder is what I hear; wonder fills my sight. The One fills the water, the land, the sky, and every single heart — I have flowed back into the One I came from, and its play is far too vast to describe.
The One within you and the One everywhere are the same — and wonder is how you see it.
The deeper layer
bisam and bismaad — wonder, awe: the settled state of one who sees the One everywhere. barahmai barahm mili-aa, God meeting God: the divine spark in the person rejoining its source — an image of oneness (Ik) rather than two separate beings meeting. jis tay upji-aa tis maahi samaa-i-aa: the wave returning to the ocean it never left.
A Question to Sit With
When did something in the world fill you with pure wonder?
