Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I searched and searched until I was worn out.
I wandered far and wide, and then I came back home, to my own body and heart.
There the kind Guru made the deal for me.
The priceless jewel dropped right into my hand.
I searched the whole world, and the jewel was at home inside me.
Khojat khojat — searching and searching. The seeker became bairaagee, here meaning tired and worn out from the long hunt. Then he came back to dayh giraamaa, the "body-village," his own body and heart.
Think of hunting all over the house for your glasses, and they were on your head. The laal agaamaa, the priceless jewel that seemed out of reach, was in the one place we forget to look.
The Guru, the true teacher, is the kind one who made the deal. That means the Guru helps you finally see what you already have.
Have you ever looked everywhere for something and found it was close to home all along?
