Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One who lifts away pain grew gentle with me, and I found my place among the saints.
Nanak says, every treasure I had wandered off to find was inside my own home all along, and my little light melted into the great Light.
Every treasure was at home all along.
Bha-i-o da-i-aal — the One became kind. The One is the dukh hartaa, the one who takes pain away. And a place to belong is found with the santan, the saints who love the One.
Then comes the discovery. Sagal nidhaan gharai meh paa-ay — all treasures are found inside one's own home, the home of the heart.
The last image is jot samaa-ee. Jot means light. My own small light melts into the great Light. It is like a wave remembering it was always part of the ocean.
What is something valuable that is already in your own home — your family, your life — that is easy to overlook?
