Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The still, absolute One is deep within you, and outside you too; it fills the three worlds completely.
Whoever knows the One in the fourth state (beyond waking, dreaming and deep sleep) is no longer held by good deeds or bad.
Whoever knows the secret of the still One who fills every heart knows the First Being, the spotless Lord.
The person dyed in the spotless Naam,
Nanak says, is that same First Being, the Maker of destiny.
The same deep stillness of the One is inside you, outside you, and everywhere.
Sunn means the still, absolute One, before and beyond all form; it fills inside, outside and the three worlds. The chauthaa sunn, the fourth state, lies past waking, dreaming and deep sleep, where the scorekeeping of virtue and vice falls quiet. The last line is bold: the one dyed in the Naam is so-ee purakh bidhaataa, one with the Maker, like a wave that knows itself as ocean.
Have you ever felt a stillness that seemed to be everywhere at once?
