ਤਨੁ ਮਨੁ ਖੋਜਿ ਘਰੈ ਮਹਿ ਪਾਇਆ ॥
tan man khoj gharai meh paa-i-aa.
Searching my body and mind, I found Him within the home of my own heart.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮਿ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਇਆ ॥੨॥
gurmukh raam naam chit laa-i-aa. ||2||
The Gurmukh centers his consciousness on the Lord's Name. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I searched my body and my mind, and I found the One right here, in the home of my own heart.
The one who turns toward the Guru keeps their thoughts fixed on the Naam of the One.
What you search everywhere for was home inside you all along.
Search your body and mind, and the One is found at home, inside you.
Tan man khoj gharai meh paa-i-aa: searching body and mind, the One was found within one's own home. Gurmukh raam naam chit laa-i-aa: the one facing the Guru fixes the chit, the mind, on the Naam. The seeking ends where it began, within.
A Question to Sit With
Have you ever looked all over for something that was right beside you?
