Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In all four ages, the One has made the body a temple.
It is a hard, tricky place, with many windows to get lost in.
Searching and searching, the seeker comes to the One's door.
Nanak says: then the yogi finds a home in the One's own house.
The One lives inside us, and the long search ends at home.
Chahu meh aikai mat hai kee-aa means that in every age, the One made the body a temple. The verse calls it a tricky place with many windows. The windows are our senses, and they make it easy to get lost looking outside.
Khojat khojat du-aaray aa-i-aa means "searching and searching, I came to the door." And then mahal ghar paa-i-aa, the home was found. The yogi finds a home in the One's own house.
The temple we looked for everywhere turns out to be inside us. It is like a game of hide-and-seek where the one you were looking for was right behind you the whole time.
What might change if you treated your own body and heart as a kind of temple?
