ਖੋਜਤ ਖੋਜਤ ਖੋਜਿ ਬੀਚਾਰਿਓ ਹਰਿ ਸੰਤ ਜਨਾ ਪਹਿ ਆਹਾ ॥
khojat khojat khoj beechaari-o har sant janaa peh aahaa.
Searching, searching, searching and reflecting, I have found that the Lord's Name is with the Saints.
ਤਿਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਾ ਪਰਾਪਤਿ ਏਹੁ ਨਿਧਾਨਾ ਜਿਨ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਕੈ ਕਰਮਿ ਲਿਖਾਹਾ ॥੧॥
tinHaa paraapat ayhu niDhaanaa jinH kai karam likhaahaa. ||1||
They alone obtain this treasure, who have such pre-ordained destiny. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Searching and searching and reflecting, I found the Name is with the good.
Only those with such destiny come into this treasure.
The treasure isn't a solitary discovery — it's kept among those who love it, and caught by keeping their company.
The verse reports a search that ended in a location: "the Lord's Name is with the Saints" — the treasure is found in good company. After all the seeking and reflecting, the answer was relational: the Name is kept among those who love it, and it is caught by keeping their company. The treasure was never a solitary discovery; it is shared, hand to hand, among the devoted.
A Question to Sit With
What good have you found not by searching alone but by being around the right people?
