Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
And some He has Himself made Gurmukh — turning them to understanding and reflection.
To them He has granted devotion also — and the treasure lies within them.
Verse 5's necessary companion: the same Self that permitted the wandering makes the finders. Gurmukh-hood is not a self-appointed achievement — kee-ti-an, He made them so, granted (bakhsee-an — the forgiveness-word, the bestowal-word) the very devotion they offer back. And where is what they are given? Antar bhandaaraa — the storehouse is within them. He does not hand the treasure to them; He reveals that they are the vault. Election here is not favoritism explained; it is grace confessed by those who know they did not manufacture their own turning.
Think of your best quality: how much of it did you actually create yourself?
