Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The restless coming-and-going quiets when I finally settle into my own true home inside.
A treasure of truth is placed there as a gift, more than my mind can grasp.
The restless running around stops when we come home to ourselves.
Aavan jaanaa means coming and going, the endless in-and-out of life after life. It ends with nij ghar vaasaa, living in your own true home. That home is inside you. It is a quiet, settled place where the soul stops wandering. You reach it by coming home, not by going anywhere.
Think of coming in from a long, cold day. You kick off your shoes, and you are home. There, the One gives a gift: sach khajaanaa, a treasure of truth. It is bakhsi-aa, given freely as grace. Raag Maaroo often sings of endings, and this verse brings comfort: home is already inside you.
What helps you feel at home inside yourself?
