The Nine Treasures Within

ਕਾਇਆ ਨਗਰੀ ਸਬਦੇ ਖੋਜੇ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਵੰ ਨਿਧਿ ਪਾਈ ॥੨੨॥
kaa-i-aa nagree sabday khojay naam navaN niDh paa-ee. ||22||
One who searches the village of the body, through the Shabad, obtains the nine treasures of the Naam. ||22||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Search the village of your own body, with the Word as your map.

There you find the nine treasures — every kind of riches — in the Naam.

The richest treasure hunt happens inside you.
The deeper layer

Kaa-i-aa nagree shabday khojay — searching the “village of the body” through the Word yields the navan nidh, the nine treasures, all found in naam. The wealth is inward, and the Word is the way in.

A Question to Sit With

If your heart were a house, what treasure might be hidden in it?
