ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਧਾਨੁ ਜਾ ਕੀ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਸੋਇ ॥
naam niDhaan jaa kee nirmal so-ay.
His Name is the treasure; His reputation is immaculate.
ਆਪੇ ਕਰਤਾ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥੨॥
aapay kartaa avar na ko-ay. ||2||
He Himself is the Creator; there is no other. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
His Name is the treasure; His reputation spotless.
He Himself is the Maker — there is no other.
There is only one hand behind everything — no rival to muddle the work.
There is only one Maker behind everything, and that Maker is good.
Naam nidhaan — the Name is a treasure. The One's good name is spotless. Aapay kartaa avar na ko-ay — the One alone is the Creator. There is no other.
Think of a painting made by one artist from start to finish. No one else grabbed the brush and smudged it. Creation is like that. It is whole because only One hand made it.
A Question to Sit With
How might it feel to know there's a single, good source behind it all?
