ਨਾ ਹਰਿ ਭਜਿਓ ਨ ਗੁਰ ਜਨੁ ਸੇਵਿਓ ਨਹ ਉਪਜਿਓ ਕਛੁ ਗਿਆਨਾ ॥
naa har bhaji-o na gur jan sayvi-o nah upji-o kachh gi-aanaa.
You have not meditated or vibrated upon the Lord; you have not served the Guru, or His humble servants; spiritual wisdom has not welled up within you.
ਘਟ ਹੀ ਮਾਹਿ ਨਿਰੰਜਨੁ ਤੇਰੈ ਤੈ ਖੋਜਤ ਉਦਿਆਨਾ ॥੨॥
ghat hee maahi niranjan tayrai tai khojat udi-aanaa. ||2||
The Immaculate Lord is within your heart, and yet you search for Him in the wilderness. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Sometimes we look everywhere out in the world for what will make us whole.
But the pure One is already living inside your own heart — you don't have to wander far to find it.
What you're searching for is already within you.
ghat hee maahi niranjan tayrai — the immaculate One is within your own heart; tai khojat udiaanaa — yet you search in the wilderness. This echoes the musk-deer teaching: the treasure is within, though we look outside.
A Question to Sit With
Where do you usually look for happiness — outside, or inside?
