Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Do not think the True Lord is far away — He is deep within you.
Wherever I look, I find Him pervading everything. How could I ever measure His worth?
This one says the True One is not far away. The One is right inside you.
"Saacha-o door na jaanee-ai" — do not think the True One is far. "Antar hai so-ee" — that very One is within. The Guru comes back to this again and again, like a homing signal. It is like the blue dot on a phone map that says: you are here, and so is the One.
The line points two ways at once. Inward, where the One lives deeper than your own deepest self. And outward: "jah daykhaa tah rav rahay" — wherever I look, the One is there. Between the two, nothing is left out. "Far away" turns out to be the one place the One is not, because far away does not exist.
Then the line ends the way honest looking always ends: how could I ever measure the One's worth? It is like trying to measure the ocean with a cup. The cup just fills and sinks.
When you feel distant from what is good and true, what actually moved?
