Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one who turns toward the teaching searches in the right place — inward — while so many wander in circles looking everywhere else.
And this treasure is not won by clever tricks or cutting corners. It comes as a gift, received in reverence and love, always here for the taking.
The treasure comes as a gift, not by clever tricks.
Gurmukh hovai so kaa-i-aa khojai: the gurmukh, the one who turns toward the Guru, searches inside the body. Everyone else wanders around confused.
Jis no day-ay so-ee jan paavai: only the one it is given to receives it. Hor ki-aa ko karay chaturaa-ee: what clever trick could anyone try?
It is like a birthday present. You cannot hack it or grab it. You receive it.
Kaa-i-aa andar bha-o bhaa-o vasai: inside the body live bha-o, loving respect for the One, and bhaa-o, love. Both come by the Guru's kindness.
What good things come only when you stop trying to force them?
