ਅੰਤਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਧਨੁ ਸਮਝ ਨ ਹੋਈ ॥
antar har Dhan samajh na ho-ee.
The wealth of the Lord is deep within one's inner being, but he does not realize it.
ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਬੂਝੈ ਕੋਈ ॥
gur parsaadee boojhai ko-ee.
By Guru's Grace, one comes to understand.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਸੋ ਧਨੁ ਪਾਏ ਸਦ ਹੀ ਨਾਮਿ ਨਿਵਾਸੀ ਹੇ ॥੧੩॥
gurmukh hovai so Dhan paa-ay sad hee naam nivaasee hay. ||13||
One who becomes Gurmukh is blessed with this wealth; he lives forever in the Naam. ||13||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
There is a treasure hidden right inside you, though it is easy to walk past it.
By the Guru's grace, you finally notice it.
The one who turns to the Guru is handed that wealth and lives, forever, in the Name.
The treasure you keep looking for is already inside you.
Like the musk deer searching the forest for a scent it carries itself, we search outside for a treasure that is within. The Guru's grace is what lets us finally notice it.
A Question to Sit With
What is something good in you that you sometimes forget you have?
