ਕਾਇਆ ਵਿਚਿ ਵਸਤੁ ਕੀਮਤਿ ਨਹੀ ਪਾਈ ॥
kaa-i-aa vich vasat keemat nahee paa-ee.
Within the body is the object; its value cannot be estimated.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਆਪੇ ਦੇ ਵਡਿਆਈ ॥
gurmukh aapay day vadi-aa-ee.
He Himself grants glorious greatness to the Gurmukh.
ਜਿਸ ਦਾ ਹਟੁ ਸੋਈ ਵਥੁ ਜਾਣੈ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਦੇਇ ਨ ਪਛੋਤਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੪॥
jis daa hat so-ee vath jaanai gurmukh day-ay na pachhotaa-idaa. ||14||
He alone knows this object, to whom this store belongs; the Gurmukh is blessed with it, and does not come to regret. ||14||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Inside your body is a treasure so valuable no one could ever price it. The One grants greatness to the one turned toward the teaching.
Only the one it belongs to knows it — and, blessed with it, they never look back with sorrow.
The most priceless thing you own is already inside you.
The object (vasat) within is beyond estimation. The Gurmukh, blessed with it, does not pachhotaa-idaa — does not come to regret. Knowing the treasure is reserved for the one to whom the store belongs; it is intimate, not theoretical.
A Question to Sit With
What do you already have that you sometimes forget is precious?
