The fortress of the body has nine gates; the tenth gate is kept hidden.

ਬਜਰ ਕਪਾਟ ਨ ਖੁਲਨੀ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦਿ ਖੁਲੀਜੈ ॥

bajar kapaatt na khulanee gur sabad khuleejai |

The rigid door is not open; only through the Word of the Guru's Shabad can it be opened.

ਅਨਹਦ ਵਾਜੇ ਧੁਨਿ ਵਜਦੇ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦਿ ਸੁਣੀਜੈ ॥

anahad vaaje dhun vajade gur sabad suneejai |

The unstruck sound current resounds and vibrates there. The Word of the Guru's Shabad is heard.

ਤਿਤੁ ਘਟ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਚਾਨਣਾ ਕਰਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਮਿਲੀਜੈ ॥

tit ghatt antar chaananaa kar bhagat mileejai |

Deep within the nucleus of the heart, the Divine Light shines forth. Through devotional worship, one meets the Lord.

ਸਭ ਮਹਿ ਏਕੁ ਵਰਤਦਾ ਜਿਨਿ ਆਪੇ ਰਚਨ ਰਚਾਈ ॥੧੫॥
