Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Name is a diamond, a jewel, a ruby; the pearl of the mind is the inner wealth.
O Nanak, the Lord tests us and blesses us with His Glance of Grace.
Guru Nanak ends by gathering all the jewel pictures together.
Heeraa naam javayhar laal — the Name is a diamond, a jewel, a ruby. And the man motee, the pearl of the mind, is our real inner wealth. So the treasure is not out there somewhere. It is inside you.
Back in the pause line, the One was the Banker who tests us. Now that Banker tests the soul's jewel, finds it true, and nadar nihaal — blesses us with a glance of grace. Think of a jeweler holding your stone up to the light and smiling, because it is real.
What inner wealth do you carry that no one could take?
