થયાં જ્યાં એક ઈશ્વરથી, પછી શી ગાંઠ ઘરઘરથી, જગાવ્યે પ્રેમ પરવરથી, શલાકા સ્નેહની સેવી. ૧૩
— Kalapi
Meaning

Since all originate from one God, there can be no true divisions between households. I awakened divine love and nurtured the torch of affection.

Explanation

This couplet beautifully reminds us that we all come from the same divine source, from one God. If we share such a fundamental origin, then what's the use of building walls or holding onto differences between families or communities? It asks us to reflect on why we create divisions when we are inherently connected. The verse then encourages us to awaken the supreme love within us, a love that comes from the divine. By doing so, we essentially become instruments of this love, spreading its light and warmth everywhere. It's a call to recognize our shared humanity and unite through universal love.
