ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਹਜੇ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਪੀਵੈ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਅਗਨਿ ਬੁਝਾਹਾ ਹੇ ॥੫॥
gurmukh sehjay amrit peevai tarisnaa agan bujhaahaa hay. ||5||
The Gurmukh intuitively drings in the Ambrosial Nectar, and the fire of desire is quenched. ||5||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

There is something priceless kept deep inside you, worth more than anything you could ever buy.

The One opens the door to it, and when you drink that sweetness, the restless burning of always wanting more grows calm.

The most precious thing is already inside you, waiting for the door to open.
The deeper layer

The priceless object is the inner Name; the doors are opened by grace. The nectar, amrit, cools trishna, the fire of endless craving.

A Question to Sit With

What is something you have that money could never buy?
