Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
But here's the hope: whenever grace touches a heart, love wakes up, and you gather the one true treasure.
That treasure — a heart full of the One — is the only thing that travels with you all the way.
After all the warning, Kabir opens the door of hope — and it's never too late for grace: if the Dear Lord shows mercy, one enshrines love and obtains the Profit of the Name. Even a life that wandered can turn, the moment grace touches it. And he names the one thing worth gathering: the wealth of the Name — a heart full of love for the One — because that alone goes with you when you depart. All the hoarded 'stuff' stays behind; only what you loved and became travels on. It's the positive flip of the whole shabad: don't waste the pool on grasping — fill it instead with the one treasure that lasts, and know that grace can help you start anytime.
What's a 'treasure' you could gather that isn't a thing at all, and can never be taken away?
