Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The treasure of a good, remembering heart brings a peace that lasts and lasts.
It never brings a loss — you only ever come out ahead.
And the wonder is: the more you spend it, the more there is; it never runs down.
A heart free of doubt walks tall and is never left ashamed.
A joyful Shalok about the inexhaustible wealth of the Name: "eating and spending it, it never decreases; He continues to give forever." Unlike money — which shrinks as you spend it — the treasure of goodness grows the more you use it. Love shared multiplies; kindness given comes back; a good heart spent on others only deepens. "It never brings any loss... one earns profits forever." This is the Vaar's economics of the spirit: the one wealth that can't run out. For a child: love and kindness are the strange kind of treasure that grows the more you give it away.
Have you noticed how giving kindness away seems to leave you with even more of it?
