Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Singing of the pure and spotless One, every treasure is found.
The One gives this gift by grace, and the rare heart that receives it comes to know it.
Everything worth having is in the Name, and knowing it is a gift.
Naanak naam niranjan gaa-ee-ai paa-ee-ai sarab niDhaanaa — singing the spotless Name, all treasures are found. Niranjan means spotless, with no stain at all.
Only a birlay, a rare one, comes to know this. That is not about leaving people out. It points to how the knowing comes. It is a gift of grace that you live, not a fact to memorize. It is like riding a bike. No one learns it from a list. It comes by doing, and then one day you just know.
What is something you can only understand by living it, not just by being told?
