Fifth Mehl:
ਗੁਝੜਾ ਲਧਮੁ ਲਾਲੁ ਮਥੈ ਹੀ ਪਰਗਟੁ ਥਿਆ ॥
gujh-rhaa laDham laal mathai hee pargat thi-aa.
The hidden jewel has been found; it has appeared on my forehead.
ਸੋਈ ਸੁਹਾਵਾ ਥਾਨੁ ਜਿਥੈ ਪਿਰੀਏ ਨਾਨਕ ਜੀ ਤੂ ਵੁਠਿਆ ॥੩॥
so-ee suhaavaa thaan jithai piree-ay naanak jee too vuthi-aa. ||3||
Beautiful and exalted is that place, O Nanak, where You dwell, O my Dear Lord. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The jewel that was hidden all along has been found, shining right where I could not see it.
Nanak says: beautiful and bright is that inner place where You live.
The best treasure was hidden in the one place you forgot to look — inside.
The 'jewel on the forehead' is the treasure of the One, discovered within. Beautiful is the heart where the Beloved is found to dwell.
A Question to Sit With
