Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
How much is it worth to spend your life turned toward the One? Honestly, no one can measure it. It is beyond any price tag.
The One never fades. The One cannot be seen with plain eyes, and is bigger than any mind can hold.
No one can measure how much it is worth to serve the One.
Kavan jaanai prabh tumhree sayvaa — who can know the worth of serving You? A life turned toward the One has no price tag.
Then come three words. Avinaasee means never fading. Alakh means unseen. Abhayvaa means beyond figuring out. Each one describes the One by what no mind can pin down. The Mool Mantar, the opening lines of the Guru Granth Sahib, speaks the same way. Try measuring the ocean with a kitchen spoon. Some things are simply too big to size up.
What is something valuable in your life that no amount of money could measure?
