Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Some people love what is true so much that they find a home deep inside themselves — a quiet inner room where they always belong. They no longer feel restless or lost, because they carry that belonging with every breath and every bite of food.
There is a lovely image for it: a color that never washes out. When love for the One soaks all the way in, it does not fade the way other things do. Nanak says: in grace the One draws such a heart close and keeps it near — always here, never earned, only received.
Pauri 26 (Fourth Mehl). nij mahlee vaasaa — dwelling in the mansion of the self, the inner home. har kaa rang kaday na utrai: the dye of divine love never fades, while what is passing washes off like cheap dye. kirpaa kar kai mayli-an — grace, always given and not earned, keeps them close. They never have to begin the long round again; they have come home.
What is a place inside yourself where you always feel like you belong?
