Our Merciful Lord and Master is wealth, property and everything to His humble Saints.
ਨਾਨਕ ਜਾਚਿਕ ਦਰਸੁ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਮਾਗੈ ਸੰਤ ਜਨਾ ਕੀ ਮਿਲੈ ਰਵਾਲ ॥੨॥੧੬॥੧੦੨॥
naanak jaachik daras parabh maagai sant janaa kee milai ravaal. ||2||16||102||
Nanak, a beggar, asks for the Blessed Vision of God's Darshan; please, bless him with the dust of the feet of the Saints. ||2||16||102||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The gentle One is everything to those who love — their true wealth and treasure.
Nanak says: I come with empty hands, asking only for the sight of You, and for the dust of the saints' feet.
The richest thing to ask for is to be near the One.
daamodar da-i-aal — the merciful One (a name of Krishna, used with respect) as the true wealth of the devoted. jaachik daras maagai — the seeker asks for darshan, the sight; sant janaa kee milai ravaal — for the dust of the saints' feet, a humble asking made with open, empty hands.
