Know Who Owns All Treasures and Stop Grabbing

ਆਸਾ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:
ਨਉ ਨਿਧਿ ਤੇਰੈ ਸਗਲ ਨਿਧਾਨ ॥
na-o niDh tayrai sagal niDhaan.
The nine treasures are Yours - all treasures are Yours.
ਇਛਾ ਪੂਰਕੁ ਰਖੈ ਨਿਦਾਨ ॥੧॥
ichhaa poorak rakhai nidaan. ||1||
The Fulfiller of desires saves mortals in the end. ||1||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

All the nine treasures are Yours — every treasure is Yours.

The Fulfiller of wishes saves us in the end.

When you know who owns all the treasures, there's nothing left to grab for.
The deeper layer

Everything belongs to the One — "all treasures are Yours" — and the One is "the Fulfiller of desires" who "saves mortals in the end." The soul that knows the owner of all treasures has no need to grasp; it simply trusts the One who fulfills and saves.

A Question to Sit With

What changes when you trust that what you need will be provided?
