Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Beloved is deep, deeper than anyone can measure. No one else is as great.
The Beloved lives in every heart and delights in each one. The One is inside every woman and every man.
Nanak says: the Beloved is everywhere, but hidden. Through the teaching, the Beloved comes into view.
This one says the same One lives and delights in every heart, in every woman and every man alike.
Gahir gambheer means deep and unfathomable, too deep to measure. No one else is that great.
Then comes a key line: vich naaree purakh sabh so-ay, "the One is in every woman and every man." Naaree means woman and purakh means man. No heart holds more of the One, and no heart holds less. Think of the sun shining on a playground at recess. It does not shine brighter on the boys or on the girls. It shines on everyone.
Last, gupat and pargat: hidden and revealed. The One is hidden everywhere in plain sight. It becomes pargat, clear to see, the moment the teaching opens our eyes. That is the whole aim: to see the One everywhere.
How would you treat people differently if you saw the same One living inside each of them?
