Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whatever is here in this house, look around for it and eat that.
Do not go out to anyone else's house.
Everything you need is already in your own home.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Is ghar meh hai so too dhoondh khaahi — whatever is in this house, look for it and eat that. A-or kis hee kay too mat hee jaahi — do not go into anyone else's house.
The house is your own heart, where the One already lives. There is enough there. This echoes the whole raag's call to come home inside, the same home Raamaanand sang of.
Think of a fridge full of food at home while you peek into a neighbor's lunchbox. What you need is already yours.
What good things do you already have at home that you sometimes overlook?
