Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Name — this deep connection — is the pleasure of having a home and a family. Your glance of grace is what fills that home with warmth.
Your will — the way things are — is the pleasure of your presence. Saying anything else is just noise.
The real home is where the oneness lives. And that's inside you.
This pauri redefines home. In ancient India (and in many cultures today), home — grihastha — was the center of social, religious, and personal identity. Guru Nanak says: the Name is your real home. The divine glance (the sense of being held by something larger than yourself) is your real family.
This is both spiritually radical and practically compassionate: it means home is portable. You carry it. No physical location, no family structure, can take it from you.
What makes a place feel like home to you? Is it the building, the people, the feeling? What's the most essential ingredient?
