ਜਤ ਪੇਖਉ ਤਤ ਅੰਤਰਜਾਮੀ ॥੩॥
jat paykha-o tat antarjaamee. ||3||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The restless heat of grasping has cooled and gone out.
My mind rests content, held up by the Name.
The Beloved fills the waters and the lands, everywhere,
and wherever I look, there is the One who knows every heart.
When grasping cools, you see the One in everything you look at.
Kabir describes his healed inner weather: the "fire" of maya-grasping is cooled — a lovely image of restlessness settling into contentment. His mind rests on the Name, and everywhere he looks he sees the One, the antarjaamee, the knower of every heart. Peace outside because peace inside.
