Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One, beyond reach and without end, sits in the mansion.
The nectar is inside. It is found by the one whose way of living matches the jewel of the Guru's Word.
The boundless One sits in a mansion inside you, and a life that matches the Word finds the nectar there.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Mahal meh baithay agam apaar: the One, agam, beyond reach, and apaar, without end, is seated in the mahal, the mansion. Bheetar amrit: the nectar is within. Gur kaa sabad ratan aachaar: the one whose aachaar, way of living, matches the jewel of the Guru's Word receives it.
Think of a house with a beautiful room you have walked past every day without opening the door.
Where is a place inside yourself that feels quiet and precious?
