ਬਾਬਾ ਸਾਚਾ ਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਰਿਦੈ ਸਮਾਲਿ ॥
baabaa saachaa saahib ridai samaal.
O Baba, contemplate and cherish the True Lord and Master within your heart.
ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਪੁਛਿ ਦੇਖੁ ਲੇਹੁ ਵਖਰੁ ਭਾਲਿ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
satgur apnaa puchh daykh layho vakhar bhaal. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Seek out and see, and ask your True Guru, and obtain the true commodity. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Baba, keep the True Master close in your heart.
Ask your Guru and see for yourself, then seek out the true goods and take them home.
The treasure worth seeking is cherished within, not bought outside.
Ridai samaal, cherish within the heart, locates the treasure inside, and the satgur, the Guru, is the trusted guide who helps us find the true vakhar (commodity). Seeking within, with guidance, replaces frantic outer searching. The heart is the marketplace that matters.
