The Jewel Already Inside You

ਅੰਤਰਿ ਰਤਨ ਪਦਾਰਥ ਹਿਤ ਕੌ ਦੁਰੈ ਨ ਲਾਲ ਪਿਆਰੀ ॥

His Love is a priceless jewel deep within my being; the Lover of my Beloved is not hidden.
ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਅਮੋਲਕੁ ਜੁਗਿ ਜੁਗਿ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਧਾਰੀ ॥੪॥੩॥
naanak gurmukh naam amolak jug jug antar Dhaaree. ||4||3||
O Nanak, as Gurmukh, enshrine the Priceless Naam deep within your being, all the ages through. ||4||3||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Deep inside you is a priceless jewel. The love of the Beloved shows; it is right there to be found.

Nanak says: turn to the Guru and keep the priceless Naam close in your heart, through all the ages.

The most precious thing you could own is already inside you.
The deeper layer

The most precious jewel you will ever own is already inside you.

"Antar ratan padaarath" means a priceless jewel within. That jewel is the Name. It is amolak, beyond any price.

The love of the Beloved is durai na, not hidden. It is right there to be found.

"Jug jug antar dhaaree" means keep it inside through all the ages. Think of a treasure no thief can steal and no storm can wash away. Most wealth comes and goes. This one stays.

A Question to Sit With

What treasure do you already carry that no one can take away?
