Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Every kind of treasure has come into my home. Remembering the Name, I have found everything.
Remembering the Name, the One became my friend forever, and I rest in easy peace.
The endless counting stops, the restless wandering ends, and worry lets go of my mind.
The One shows Himself, a music that no hand plays rings out, and a wonderful show begins.
Says Nanak: when my Beloved is with me, I have every treasure.
The greatest treasure is a mind that has stopped worrying.
The verse says nav nidhay — the nine treasures — have come home. That is an old way of saying every kind of wealth. But look at the riches it actually lists. They are all inside. Ganat mitaa-ee — the counting is over. Chookee dhaa-ee — the running around has stopped. Worry no longer grips the mind.
We all know the busy mind that keeps adding things up. Did I get enough? Am I falling behind? Think of checking your phone over and over for a message. When the One is with you, the checking can stop. The mind goes quiet.
Then anhad vaajay — a music plays that no hand is playing. It is a sound heard inside, in a peaceful heart. And a wonderful show begins. To have everything you need mostly means to stop the worried counting.
What would it feel like if the worried 'do I have enough?' counting in your head just went quiet?
