Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O my beloved camel-mind, search for the One inside your own heart — look, and keep looking. No clever trick or gadget will ever turn it up. But the teacher will show you the One, right there within you all along.
Man karhalaa mayray preetamaa — the address warms further: "my beloved" camel-mind. Har ridai bhaal bhaalaa-ay — search (bhaal) the One within the heart (ridai): the object of every pilgrimage is inward. Upaa-ay kitai na labh-ee — "by no device is it found" — no technique, method, or gimmick reaches it. Gur hirdai har daykhaa-ay — the teacher shows the One already within. The pilgrimage's destination turns out to be the pilgrim's own heart.
What are you searching for "out there" that might actually be found by looking inward?
