Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One made this whole world like a wonderful play, full of scenes and surprises. Into each of us it wove real feelings — attachment, and the tug of pride and pretending.
When we get lost in all that, we drift, never quite settling. But hearts get drawn toward understanding too, and handed a hidden treasure: the joy of loving the One and holding the Name close. That treasure was there all along, waiting.
choj vidaan = the wondrous play, the leela. panch dhaat = the five elements composing the body. bhagat khajaanaa, har naam nidhaan = the treasure of devotion and the Name, a gift bakhsi-on (bestowed), received not earned. The manmukh's coming and going is softened to drifting, not settling.
What is a treasure you already have that isn't a thing you can hold?
