Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The well is high up, in a secret doorway inside me, up in my inner sky. Sweet nectar flows from it, and I drink it in.
All of creation belongs to the One, and only the One knows how it all works. The one who turns toward the Guru thinks deeply on this wisdom.
The sweetest fountain is found high up inside you, and only its Maker knows how creation works.
Oopar koop gagan panihaaree means the well is up high, in the sky. Amrit peevanhaaraa means sweet nectar is there to drink. Amrit is the sweet, life-giving drink of the One.
Normally you dig a well down into the ground. This one is found high up, in an opening inside us. Sikh teaching calls it the dasam du-aar, the tenth door, a secret inner doorway. The fountain is inside you. You do not have to go searching far away.
Jis kee rachnaa so biDh jaanai means the One who made everything is the only one who knows how it all works. And the gurmukh, the person turned toward the Guru, thinks about that wisdom, gi-aan veechaaraa.
Where do you go inside yourself when you want to feel calm and full?
