Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Through love for the dear Guru, a person knows the One's Name is true.
True greatness comes from the Guru, through the dear True Name.
The One True Presence flows through everyone. How rare is the one who stops to think about it!
The One brings us close, forgives us, and makes our love beautiful and true.
The same One True Presence lives in every single person.
Har kaa naam sat kar jaanai — through love for the dear Guru, a person knows that the One's Name is true. Sachee vadi-aa-ee gur tay paa-ee — true greatness comes from the Guru, through the True Name.
Ayko sachaa sabh meh vartai, virlaa ko veechaaray — the One True Presence flows through everyone, but rare is the person who stops to think about it. Imagine one song playing through every speaker in a huge stadium. Every speaker looks different, yet it is the same song in all of them.
When that sinks in, the way you see people changes. There is no ladder of better and worse people, because the same One is in all of them. Aapay mayl la-ay taa bakhsay — the One brings us close and forgives freely, and makes our devotion true and beautiful.
How would you treat people differently if you saw the same light in each one?
