ਹਰਿ ਮੰਦਰ ਮਹਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਧਾਨੁ ਹੈ ਨਾ ਬੂਝਹਿ ਮੁਗਧ ਗਵਾਰ ॥
har mandar meh naam niDhaan hai naa boojheh mugaDh gavaar.
The treasure of the Naam is within the Temple of the Lord. The idiotic fools do not realize this.
ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਚੀਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਿਆ ਹਰਿ ਰਾਖਿਆ ਉਰਿ ਧਾਰਿ ॥੭॥
gur parsaadee cheenHi-aa har raakhi-aa ur Dhaar. ||7||
By Guru's Grace, I have realized this. I keep the Lord enshrined within my heart. ||7||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The treasure of the Naam is inside the Temple of the One. Foolish people don't understand this.
By the Guru's grace, I have come to see it. I keep the One held close inside my heart.
The treasure was hiding in plain sight all along.
The treasure of the Naam lies inside you, and grace opens your eyes to it.
Naam niDhaan: the treasure of the Naam, hidden in plain sight. MugaDh gavaar: the foolish, who walk right past it. Ur Dhaar: holding it in the heart, the way you hold a treasure close.
A Question to Sit With
What treasure might be sitting close to you that you usually walk right past?
