ਤਿਸੁ ਜਨ ਕੈ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਕਾ ਨਿਵਾਸੁ ॥੩॥
tis jan kai paarbarahm kaa nivaas. ||3||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

When the Naam of the One lives deep inside someone, wherever they look, they see the wisdom of the One.

Their mind is lit up all the way through.

The Highest One makes a home inside that person.

When something true settles inside you, you start to see it everywhere.
The deeper layer

When the Naam lives inside you, you see the One's wisdom everywhere, and the One makes a home in you.

Jaa kai antar basai har naam: the Naam of the One lives deep inside them. Jo jo paykhai so barahm gi-aan: whatever they look at shows them the wisdom of the One. Bees bisu-ay jaa kai man pargaas: their mind is lit up twenty parts out of twenty, completely, like a room with every lamp on.

Tis jan kai paarbarahm kaa nivaas: the Highest One lives in that person.

A Question to Sit With

How does learning one true thing change the way you see everything else?
