Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In the company of the holy she sings the praises of the One no scale can weigh.
Remembering Him, says Nanak, she becomes priceless.
This one says an ordinary person becomes priceless by remembering the One.
It happens in the Saadh Sangat, the company of good and holy people. There she sings the praises of the One who is atolee, the One no scale can weigh.
Then comes the change. Har simrat naanak bha-ee amolee — remembering the Lord, says Nanak, she becomes priceless.
Think of a plain old cup. It is worth little. But if it was the cup a great teacher drank from, people treasure it. It became precious by being close to something precious.
Worth here is not earned by winning or achieving. It is given by love, and by staying close to the One.
What gives a person true, lasting worth?
