ਮਹਲੈ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਮਹਲੁ ਕੋ ਪਾਏ ॥
mahlai andar mahal ko paa-ay.
Rare are those who find the Mansion of the Lord's Presence within the mansion of their own body.
ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਸਚਿ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਏ ॥
gur kai sabad sach chit laa-ay.
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, they lovingly focus their consciousness on the True Lord.
ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਸਚੁ ਦੇਇ ਸੋਈ ਸਚੁ ਪਾਏ ਸਚੇ ਸਚਿ ਮਿਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੮॥
jis no sach day-ay so-ee sach paa-ay sachay sach milaa-idaa. ||8||
Whoever the Lord blesses with Truth obtains Truth; he merges in Truth, and only Truth. ||8||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Only a few discover that the One's home is hidden right inside their own body. Through the Guru's Word they gently fix their heart on the True One.
Whoever is given Truth finds Truth, and blends into it completely.
The home you are looking for is inside the home you already live in.
The mahal (Mansion of the One's Presence) is found within the mahal of one's own body — a recurring inward turn in Maaroo. Truth given becomes Truth merged into; the finding and the gift are one motion.
A Question to Sit With
What might you find if you looked inward instead of outward for a change?
