Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Anyone who lives this way — turning inward with love — finds their fears melting away.
So why go searching all over the outside world? Why wander from place to place looking? The One you are seeking is found right here, inside, in a heart turned toward love.
What you are looking for is found in a heart turned inward.
It kar bhagat karahi jo jan tin bha-o sagal chukhaa-ee-ai: whoever worships with love in this way is free of every fear. Kahat naamday-o baahar ki-aa bharmahu: Namdev says, why wander around outside? Ih sanjam har paa-ee-ai: this sanjam, this inner discipline, is how the One is found.
The search turns toward home. It echoes the old picture of the musk deer. The deer runs all over the forest looking for a sweet smell that comes from its own body. The finding happens inside.
When have you looked everywhere for something that was with you all along?
