Verse 3 of 5

The One In Every Heart

ਏਕ ਬਿਨਾ ਦੂਜਾ ਨਹੀ ਜਾਨੈ ॥
ayk binaa doojaa nahee jaanai.
There is no other to know, except for the One Lord.
ਘਟ ਘਟ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪਛਾਨੈ ॥੨॥
ghat ghat antar paarbarahm pachhaanai. ||2||
So realize that the Supreme Lord God is within each and every heart. ||2||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

There is no other to know, only the One.

So see that the Supreme One lives inside every single heart.

The same One lives inside every heart there is.
The deeper layer

This verse says there is only One to know, and that One lives in every heart.

Ayk binaa doojaa nahee jaanai: besides the One, there is no doojaa, no second one, to know.

Ghat ghat antar paarbarahm pachhaanai: recognize the Paarbarahm, the Supreme One, inside ghat ghat, each and every heart. That means your heart, and also the heart of the kid you don't get along with.

Think of the same electricity lighting every lamp in a city. The lamps look different, but one power runs through them all. There is oneness behind everything we see.

A Question to Sit With

If the same One were inside everyone, how might you treat people differently?
