ਭਾਂਜਨ ਕੈ ਜੈਸੇ ਕੋਊ ਦੀਪਕੈ ਦੁਰਾਏ ਰਾਖੈ ਮੰਦਰ ਮੈ ਅਛਤ ਹੀ ਦੂਸਰੋ ਨ ਜਾਨਈ ।
bhaanjan kai jaise koaoo deepakai duraae raakhai mandar mai achhat hee doosaro na jaanee |

If a beacon is lit but kept under cover, no one can see anything in that room despite the presence of an oil lamp there.

ਜਉ ਪੈ ਰਖਵਈਆ ਪੁਨਿ ਪ੍ਰਗਟ ਪ੍ਰਗਾਸ ਕਰੈ ਹਰੈ ਤਮ ਤਿਮਰ ਉਦੋਤ ਜੋਤ ਠਾਨਈ ।
jau pai rakhaveea pun pragatt pragaas karai harai tam timar udot jot tthaanee |

But he who has hidden the lamp removes its cover and light up the room, the darkness of room is dispelled.

ਸਗਲ ਸਮਗ੍ਰੀ ਗ੍ਰਿਹਿ ਪੇਖਿਐ ਪ੍ਰਤਛਿ ਰੂਪ ਦੀਪਕ ਦਿਪਈਆ ਤਤਖਨ ਪਹਿਚਾਨਈ ।
sagal samagree grihi pekhiaai pratachh roop deepak dipeea tatakhan pahichaanee |

Then one is able to see everything and even he who has lit the lamp can be recognised.

ਤੈਸੇ ਅਵਘਟ ਘਟ ਗੁਪਤ ਜੋਤੀ ਸਰੂਪ ਗੁਰ ਉਪਦੇਸ ਉਨਮਾਨੀ ਉਨਮਾਨਈ ।੩੬੩।
taise avaghatt ghatt gupat jotee saroop gur upades unamaanee unamaanee |363|

Similarly, God resides latently in the tenth door of this sacred and invaluable body. By the incantation blessed by the True Guru and perpetual practicing on it, one realises Him and feels His presence there. (363)
