Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
So join yourself to the true teacher, powerful and real; drink deep and taste the nectar of the One.
By the teacher's grace, Nanak has found the treasure of the One right inside himself.
The wandering of the previous verse resolves here — and note where it resolves. The seeker searched "here and there," everywhere outside, and found the treasure within. This is one of Gurbani's steadiest teachings: what you are looking for is not in another place; it is already inside you, waiting to be noticed. The "nectar" (amrit) is described as something you drink and taste — not something you read about or believe in, but something directly experienced. The frantic search ends not by arriving somewhere new but by finding what was home all along.
If the thing you're searching for is already within you, what would help you notice it?
