ਅੰਤਰਿ ਬਾਹਰਿ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਣੈ ॥
antar baahar ayko jaanai.
Inwardly and outwardly, he knows the One Lord;
ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦੇ ਆਪੁ ਪਛਾਣੈ ॥
gur kai sabday aap pachhaanai.
through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, he realizes himself.
ਸਾਚੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਦਰਿ ਨੀਸਾਣੈ ॥੬॥
saachai sabad dar neesaanai. ||6||
He bears the Banner and Insignia of the True Shabad in the Lord's Court. ||6||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Such a one knows the same One inside and outside, everywhere. Through the living Word they come to recognize their own true self. Marked by the true Word, they are welcomed and known at the door of the One.
Know the same One inside and out, and you come to recognize your own true self.
Antar baahar ayko jaanai — knowing the One within and without. Gur kai sabday aap pachhaanai — through the Word, recognizing the self. Saachai shabad dar neesaanai — bearing the true Word as the mark that grants entry; the neesaan (insignia/banner) is inner authenticity, not outer credential.
A Question to Sit With
What would it mean to “recognize your own true self”?
