Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Set down the puffed-up feeling and walk the wise way — that's how closeness lasts.
You find a home right inside your own heart, and a quiet song of gladness begins.
A heart adorned with truth is loved, and rests in a steady, graceful peace.
The Chhant closes with the instruction and its fruit: "overcome your egotism, and walk in the Guru's Way... obtain an abode in the home of your own inner being." Dropping ego and following wisdom leads home — to "the home of the inner self" (ghar), where a quiet gladness (sahaj, poised peace) begins. "The Beloved is delightful and forever young" — the joyful register again. The colophon (||4||1||) closes the Chhant. For a child: when you set down the puffed-up feeling and follow what's wise, you find a home right inside your own heart.
What does it feel like to be truly 'at home' inside yourself?
