Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I bow with my whole heart to anyone who has found the treasure of nearness to the One.
To have come into that presence is the greatest riches a person can hold.
The closing signature. Jisahi paraapat har charan nidhaan — "those who have obtained the treasure of the Lord's feet." Nidhaan means treasure, and har charan — the "Lord's feet" — is the image of humble nearness to the One. Nanak declares himself kurbaan, "a sacrifice, devoted," to such people — an expression of deep reverence for anyone who has found this. The shabad ends not in self-focus but in honoring others who have arrived at the pool.
Who do you know that seems to carry a deep, quiet peace? What might they have found?
