Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Whoever carries love inside catches sight of the One's own presence.

Cherishing the Word with love, the heart meets the One face to face.

Day and night, that heart sees a pure light shining in everything, everywhere — a lamp lit within that never goes out.

Love lights a lamp inside that shows you the One shining everywhere.
The deeper layer

Paraym (love) opens the darsan (blessed sight) of the One. The nirmal jot (immaculate light) seen everywhere, day and night, is a deepak (lamp) lit within the heart — love as the flame that reveals the One in all things.

A Question to Sit With

Where have you noticed something shining and beautiful that others walked right past?
