ਪਾਤਾਲੀ ਆਕਾਸਿ ਤੂ ਭਾਈ ਘਰਿ ਘਰਿ ਤੂ ਗੁਣ ਗਿਆਨੁ ॥
paataalee aakaas too bhaa-ee ghar ghar too gun gi-aan.
You are pervading the realms of the underworld and the heavenly skies; Your wisdom and glories are in each and every heart.
ਗੁਰ ਮਿਲਿਐ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਭਾਈ ਚੂਕਾ ਮਨਹੁ ਗੁਮਾਨੁ ॥੪॥
gur mili-ai sukh paa-i-aa bhaa-ee chookaa manhu gumaan. ||4||
Meeting with the Guru, one finds peace, O Siblings of Destiny, and pride is dispelled from the mind. ||4||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You are everywhere, down in the deepest deeps, up in the widest skies, and tucked inside every single heart.
Your wisdom and wonder are woven into all of it, including me.
And when a true guide helps me see this, a quiet peace settles in, and my puffed-up pride just melts away.
The One fills everything, even the deeps, the skies, and your own heart.
paataalee aakaas too — pervading the nether-worlds and the skies; ghar ghar too gun giaan — in every heart Your wisdom and glory. gur miliai sukh paa-i-aa, chookaa manhu gumaan — meeting the Guru brings peace and dissolves pride (gumaan). Immanence: the One in all, seen through the teaching.
