ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਗੁਪਤਾ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਮੁਕਤਾ ॥
ghat ghat guptaa gurmukh muktaa.
He is hidden within each and every heart. The Gurmukh is liberated.
ਅੰਤਰਿ ਬਾਹਰਿ ਸਬਦਿ ਸੁ ਜੁਗਤਾ ॥
antar baahar sabad so jugtaa.
Through the Word of the Shabad, one is united, inwardly and outwardly.
ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਬਿਨਸੈ ਆਵੈ ਜਾਇ ॥
manmukh binsai aavai jaa-ay.
The self-willed manmukh perishes, and comes and goes.
ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਾਚਿ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੧੩॥
naanak gurmukh saach samaa-ay. ||13||
O Nanak, the Gurmukh merges in Truth. ||13||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is hidden in every heart. The one who faces the Guru is free.
Through the Word, that person is joined to the One, inside and out.
The one who follows only their own mind comes to ruin, and keeps coming and going.
Nanak says: the one who faces the Guru merges into Truth.
The One you are looking for is hidden in the last place you would search: inside you.
The One is hidden in every heart, and the questions of the last verse find their answers here. Two ways of living run through the whole Sidh Gosht: the manmukh (one who follows only their own mind), restless and divided, and the gurmukh (one who faces the Guru), free and at one with Truth.
A Question to Sit With
Where do you usually look for what is already close?
