ਸਚੈ ਥਾਨਿ ਵਸੈ ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰਾ ॥
sachai thaan vasai nirankaaraa.
In the True Place, the Formless Lord abides.
ਆਪਿ ਪਛਾਣੈ ਸਬਦੁ ਵੀਚਾਰਾ ॥
aap pachhaanai sabad veechaaraa.
Whoever understands his own self, contemplates the Word of the Shabad.
ਸਚੈ ਮਹਲਿ ਨਿਵਾਸੁ ਨਿਰੰਤਰਿ ਆਵਣ ਜਾਣੁ ਚੁਕਾਇਆ ॥੭॥
sachai mahal nivaas nirantar aavan jaan chukaa-i-aa. ||7||
He comes to abide deep within the True Mansion of His Presence, and his comings and goings are ended. ||7||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In the true place, the One beyond all shapes lives.
Whoever comes to know their own self turns the Word over in their heart.
They come to rest deep inside the true home of the One, and their restless wandering comes to an end.
Knowing yourself is how the endless wandering finally rests.
Nirankaar is the One beyond all form. Self-knowledge leads to veechaaraa, turning the Word over in the heart. Then aavan jaan chukaa-i-aa: the coming and going ends. Restless wandering comes to rest, like coming home.
