ਅੰਤਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਰੰਗੁ ਉਪਜਿਆ ਗਾਇਆ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਨਾਮੁ ॥੧੩॥
antar har rang upji-aa gaa-i-aa har gun naam. ||13||
Love for the Lord wells up deep within, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord's Name. ||13||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One shaped this body with care and tucked every treasure of the Name inside it.
Some get tangled in doubt and their efforts come to little.
But some, facing the Guru, discover the One within, listen closely and follow, and love wells up as they sing the Naam.
The treasure you are seeking was placed inside you from the start.
The thirteenth Pauree (||13||). The body is not despised but honored as the vessel in which the 'nine treasures' of the Name are hidden. The difference between a fruitless life and a radiant one is turning toward the Guru and listening (suniai) rather than staying tangled in doubt.
A Question to Sit With
What treasure might already be hidden within you, waiting to be found?
