Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Every treasure there is has been placed inside the hearts of those who serve the One. Just being in their company lifts old mistakes and sorrows away.
This one says good people carry a treasure, and being near them lifts old weights off you.
Sarab nidhaan raakhay jan maahi — every treasure has been kept inside the humble. Taa kai sang kilvikh dukh jaahi — in their company, kilvikh and sorrow go away. Kilvikh means the leftover weight of past mistakes.
The verse says the weight leaves. It does not say how. One gentle way to hear it: nobody is being punished here. Being near people who carry that treasure simply lifts the old weight.
Think of a heavy backpack at the end of a long school day. A good friend walks beside you, and somehow it feels lighter.
Whose company always seems to leave you lighter than before?
