He is perfectly permeating each and every heart, prevailing everywhere.
ਨਾਨਕ ਸਰਣਿ ਦੀਨ ਦੁਖ ਭੰਜਨ ਹਉ ਰੇਣ ਤੇਰੇ ਜੋ ਦਾਸਾ ਹੇ ॥੧੫॥੧॥੨॥
naanak saran deen dukh bhanjan ha-o rayn tayray jo daasaa hay. ||15||1||2||
Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of the Destroyer of the pains of the poor; I am the dust of the feet of Your slaves. ||15||1||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The treasure of goodness is beyond any price, and it fills every heart, everywhere.
Nanak says: I come to the shelter of the One who eases the aches of the small and overlooked. I am the dust under the feet of those who serve You.
The One eases the aches of exactly the ones the world calls small.
gun nidhaan — the treasure of virtue, filling ghat ghat (each and every heart). deen dukh bhanjan — the easer of the aches of the humble and small. ha-o rayn tayray jo daasaa — the dust of Your servants' feet, glad lowliness near those who serve. Shelter and belonging, at the close.
