Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:
ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਹਰਿ ਪਰਗਟੀ ਆਇਆ ॥
kar kirpaa har pargatee aa-i-aa.
Showing His Mercy, the Lord has revealed Himself to me.
ਮਿਲਿ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਧਨੁ ਪੂਰਾ ਪਾਇਆ ॥੧॥
mil satgur Dhan pooraa paa-i-aa. ||1||
Meeting the True Guru, I have received the perfect wealth. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Showing mercy, the One has revealed Himself to me.
Meeting the true Guru, I have received the perfect wealth.
The richest wealth is the kind that is revealed to you, not seized by you.
The "perfect wealth" is received by the One "revealing Himself" — grace and gift together. Note the order: the One reveals, the Guru is met, the wealth is received. None of it is seized; all of it is given.
A Question to Sit With
What is the most valuable thing you've received that you couldn't have taken by force?
