ਕਰਣਹਾਰੁ ਸਦ ਵਸੈ ਹਦੂਰਾ ॥
karanhaar sad vasai hadooraa.
They dwell forever in the Presence of the Creator Lord.
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਮੇਰਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰਾ ॥੪॥੪੫॥੧੧੪॥
kaho naanak mayraa satgur pooraa. ||4||45||114||
Says Nanak, my True Guru is Perfect. ||4||45||114||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who live this way dwell always in the very Presence of the Creator -- right here, right now. My teacher, who showed me this, is complete.
The Creator is not far away but ever-present, right at hand.
The closing couplet. Karanhaar sad vasai hadooraa -- the Creator dwells ever-present, right at hand. Sat-gur pooraa -- the True Teacher is perfect. The shabad ends by locating the Presence not far away but hadooraa -- immediately here. Everything called 'perfect' throughout is simply what it feels like to live awake to that nearness.
A Question to Sit With
What would change if you lived as though the source of everything were right here beside you?
