Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I searched and searched, and here is what I found: the Name of the One is the most real thing there is.
Held even for an instant, faults fall away, and the one who lives by the teaching is carried across.
Khojat khojat khoj beechaari-o — searched, searched, and reflected — the seeker's honest journey ending in raam naam tat saaraa, the Name as the saara tat, the sublime essence. Kilbikh kaatay nimakh araaDhi-aa — even a moment (nimakh) of remembrance cuts away faults — grace working quickly and kindly, never a slow punishment. The Name as the most real thing echoes sach in the philosophy.
What is something you searched hard for, only to find it was closer than you thought?
