Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Just glimpsing the One is beyond compare, and the Name is worth more than anything you could ever buy.
Those who love the One keep it in mind all the time, delighting in something too vast to measure.
When the Name lives on your tongue, your heart glows warm with it, filled to the brim.
The ones who stay close are wide awake to life, morning and night. With every single breath, they quietly speak of the One, and all they ask is the dust of the saints' feet, close to a Name beyond any price.
The Name is worth more than anything, and remembering it can be as natural as breathing.
Naam amola-ee — the Name is amol, beyond price. The whole Chhant ends on this note.
Saas saas gun bol-ee — speak of the One's goodness with every breath. Remembering becomes as natural as breathing, something you do without having to think.
Dhoor saaDhoo — the dust of the Saints' feet. It is Guru Arjan's favorite picture of humility. Being the lowest and humblest near holy people is the highest blessing. It is like being glad just to sit at a grandparent's feet while they tell stories.
What's something precious in your life that money could never buy?
