Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Through the True Guru, a person finds the special place, the palace where the One lives, right inside their own home.
Through the Guru's Word, their puffed-up pride goes away.
The palace where the One lives is found inside your own home, and the Guru's Word clears away the pride that hides it.
This shabad is a Du-Tukas, a song of two-line verses. Satgur tay paavai ghar dar mahal: through the True Guru one finds the home, the door, the palace, so thaan, that very place. Gur sabdee chookai abhimaan: through the Guru's Word, abhimaan, puffed-up pride, is gone. Think of looking all over the house for your glasses while they sit on your head.
What is something valuable that was near you all along, not far away?
