Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those whose hearts the teaching has filled with the Name — every treasure worth having is already theirs.
This one says the Name placed in your heart is every treasure worth having.
Jaa kai hirdai dee-o gur naamaa — those whose hearts the Guru has filled with the Name. Kaho naanak taa kai sagal nidhaanaa — says Nanak, all treasures are theirs. Nidhaanaa means treasures.
This line gathers up the whole shabad. The steady heart, the easy joy, the freedom from worry, the freedom from fear: each one is a side of this one gift. Think of a diamond. Turn it, and a different face catches the light, but it is still one stone.
The treasure was never somewhere else. It was placed inside.
If someone "had everything" on the inside, what do you think that would actually look like?
