Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Every treasure, and every real power worth having, live inside the deep sweetness of the Name. Those the beautiful One is truly pleased with are the ones who sing what is lovely about the One.
Sagal padaarath asat sidh — all wealth and the eight sidhis (spiritual powers) — are naam mahaa ras maahi, inside the great sweetness of the Name. The point mirrors Shabad 175: everything sought elsewhere is already held in the Name. Suparsan bha-ay kaysvaa — the kaysvaa (the beautiful-haired One, a name for the divine) is well-pleased — and such ones simply har gun gaahi, sing the One's praise. Being pleasing to the One is itself the singing of love.
What is something small that quietly holds more value than all the flashy things?
