Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The palace of the boundless One is right within the home of your own being — that One who has no edges and no limit. Without the Word of the teaching, nothing stays steady; but through understanding, peace comes.
Nij ghar mahal apaar — the mahal, the palace, of the apaar, the infinite One, is in nij ghar, the home of your own being. Nanak's constant inward turn: you do not travel to the One; you settle into where it already dwells (echoing Sahaj and the nij ghar theme). Aprampar — beyond all bounds. And bin sabdai thir ko nahee — without the Word, nothing is thir, stable; but boojhai sukh ho-ee, through understanding, peace arrives. The palace is inside; understanding is the key that opens its door.
What would it mean to look for peace inside yourself instead of somewhere far away?
