Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one who carries the One in their heart — they already hold everything the careful practices were reaching for.
Whoever, through the teaching, finds the jewel of the Name — their whole effort comes to full, ripe fruit.
Jap tap sanjam gi-aan tat baytaa jis man vasai gopaalaa — meditation, discipline, self-restraint, deep knowing: the verse says the person with the One living in their heart has arrived at what all those paths point toward. It does not dismiss the practices; it names their destination. Naam ratan, the jewel of the Name, obtained gurmukh (facing the teaching), makes the labor pooran — complete.
What is something you practice that is really about becoming a certain kind of person?
