Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Follow the teaching, and do not let the Name slip from your heart — then honor comes to you naturally, with no strain. Deep inside you lies the treasure of the Word; you find it the moment you set the small "me" aside.
Gurmat naam na veesrai — walking the teaching so the Name is never forgotten — brings sehjay pat, honor arriving sehjay, with natural ease (sahaj), not chased. And the jewel: antar sabad nidhaan — the treasure of the Word is within you already, a nidhaan, a treasure-store. How to reach it? Mil aap gavaa-ee-ai — by losing the aap, the ego-self (softened from "eradicating conceit" toward simply setting the small self aside). The treasure was never far; only the ego stood in the doorway.
What good thing might already be inside you, waiting for you to stop getting in your own way?
