Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The people who really listen to the story of the One — those are the truly rich ones, though the world may not see it at first. There is a quiet dignity around them that others sense and honor. Without any effort, the goodness of the True just keeps welling up inside them.
This one says that the truly rich are the ones who really listen.
Har kathaa suneh say Dhanvant diseh jug maahee — those who listen to the story of the One are seen as the wealthy ones in this world. This listening is suniai, deep listening, not just hearing sounds. Think of the difference between music playing in a store and a song you listen to with your eyes closed.
Tin ka-o sabh niveh — everyone bows to them. This is not about chasing status. It is the natural dignity people sense in a settled soul.
Sehjay gun raveh saachay man maahee — with ease they enjoy the goodness of the True One inside their minds. Sahaj means easy, natural, unforced. Real wealth here is inward and quiet. It draws respect without asking for it.
Who is someone you respect not for what they have, but for how they carry themselves?
