Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
As long as I'm stuck seeing the world split in two — us and them, good and bad — I keep sorting everyone into piles.
But when I really grasp the Oneness underneath it all, that sorting quiets down, and I rest in the One that holds every side.
We sort people into "good" and "bad" only while we see the world split in two.
Buraa bhalaa tichar aakh-daa — a person keeps calling others bad and good. Jichar hai duhu maahi — as long as they are caught in duhu, "twoness," seeing everything as us and them.
Think of a playground game where everyone picks sides. Once the bell rings and you all go inside, you remember you are one class.
Gurmukh ayko bujhi-aa — the one who follows the Guru understands the One. Aykas maahi samaa-ay — and rests inside the One. Judging others is a sign we are still seeing in two.
What changes when you look for what you share with someone instead of how you differ?
