Verse 1 of 3

There Is No Other

ਸੂਹੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥
soohee mehlaa 5.
Soohee, Fifth Mehl:
ਤਿਸੁ ਬਿਨੁ ਦੂਜਾ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਕੋਈ ॥
tis bin doojaa avar na ko-ee.
Without Him, there is no other at all.
ਆਪੇ ਥੰਮੈ ਸਚਾ ਸੋਈ ॥੧॥
aapay thammai sachaa so-ee. ||1||
The True Lord Himself is our anchor. ||1||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

When I look for something truly solid to lean on, there is really only One — nothing else holds the same way.

That One is the true anchor, steadying everything, including me.

When you look for something truly solid, there is really only One.
The deeper layer

tis bin doojaa avar na ko-ee — without that One there is no second; aapay thammai sachaa so-ee — the True One is the very support that holds everything up. An expression of Ik, oneness as the only reality.

A Question to Sit With

What is something in your life that feels truly solid and dependable?
