Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The whole of creation — every world, every galaxy — rests in one single place, one source. The Teacher lifted the curtain and let me see it.
Every treasure worth having lives right there, in the Name held within. So why would I ever go running around outside to look for it?
Everything worth finding is already gathered in one place, inside you.
Khand barahmand kaa ayko thaanaa — all the worlds and galaxies rest in one place, one ground. The Teacher pardaa khol dikhaa-i-o — pulled back the curtain and showed it. The curtain is bharam, the mistake of thinking everything is separate. Behind it is one whole.
Na-o nidh naam nidhaan ik thaa-ee — the "nine treasures," every kind of richness, are in one place. That place is the Naam, the Name, the living presence of the One within.
Think of hunting all over the house for your glasses, and they were on your head the whole time. Ta-o baahar kaithai jaa-i-o — so where outside would I go looking? The treasure is already home.
Have you ever hunted everywhere for something and finally found it right where you started?
