Where is God

Jaise Til Mein Tel Hai, Jyon Chakmak Mein Aag
Tera Sayeen Tujh Mein Hai, Tu Jaag Sake To Jaag

Translation

Like the Oil is inside the Seed, Just as the Fire is Inside the Flint Stone
Your God is Inside You, If you have the Power to Wake Up, then Wake Up

Jyon Naino Mein Putli, Tyon Maalik Ghat Mahin
Moorakh Log Na Janhin, Baahar Dhudhan Jahin

Translation

Like the pupil is in the eyes , Your God lives inside you,
The ignorant don't know this, they search Him on the outside

Meaning

God is within, the ignorant look for Him on the outside.

2         ghat ghat mera  saiyan, suni  sej  na  koi;
            balihari  ghat  tasu  ki, ja  ghat  paragat  hoi.

Meaning

My Lord is dwelling in each and every heart; not a single place is empty.
But that heart is great where God manifests His qualities.

Commentary

Though God is omnipresent, and dwells in every heart, he is great who realizes God in his own heart, and demonstrates divine qualities. That is why people bow down to such a person with respect. Such a person becomes a saint.

3         kasturi kundali basai,         mrig dhundhe ban mahi;
            aise ghati ghati ram hi, duniya dekhai nahi.

Meaning

Musk is in the navel of the musk deer, but the deer searches for its fragrance everywhere in the forest.
In the same way, God dwells in every heart, but people search for Him elsewhere, and do not find Him.
         
Commentary

Though the bliss of God's love is in the human heart, because of ignorance, people do not know it, and they search for bliss in worldly things. Instead of bliss, they get disappointment.


4         saheb teri sahibi, sab ghat rahi samai;
            jyon mehendi ke pat me, lali lakhi na jai.

Meaning

O Almighty! Your power dwells in every heart but is invisible.
 It just as the red colour that resides in the green mehendi leaves and is invisible.

Commentary

To get the red colour from the mehendi leaves, one has to grind them into a fine paste and apply it on the hands. When the paste dries and the hands are washed, the red colour appears. In the same way one has to grind (cleanse) his mind by meditation to realize God.


5          pawak rupi saiyan, sab ghat raha samai;
            chit chakmak lage nahi, tate bujhi bujhi jai.

Meaning

God is like fire dwelling in each and every heart.
But because the flint stone does not produce a spark in the heart, it does not give light.

Commentary

It is well known that the light of God shines in every heart, but a person does not realize it, because without sparking of the flint stone it does not appear. The sparking is the yearning for God realization, and the flint stone is initiation by Sadguru.
