ਹਰਿ ਮੇਰੀ ਪੂੰਜੀ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਵੇਸਾਹੁ ॥
har mayree poonjee mayraa har vaysaahu.
The Lord is my capital; the Lord is my credit.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਧਨੁ ਖਟੀ ਹਰਿ ਮੇਰਾ ਸਾਹੁ ॥੩॥
gurmukh Dhan khatee har mayraa saahu. ||3||
As Gurmukh, I earn the wealth, with the Lord as my Banker. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is my capital; the One is my credit.
Turned toward the Guru, I earn the wealth — with the One as my Banker.
The One is the capital, the credit, and the banker — the whole transaction, from start to finish.
The merchant image turns wholly inward: the One is not only the giver of wealth but is the capital, the credit, and the Banker (cf. Shabad 97). The entire economy of the spiritual life is the One — you trade in the One, with the One, for the One. There is no part of the transaction the One does not fill.
A Question to Sit With
What is something where the giver, the gift, and the helper all turn out to be the same?
