Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My real wealth is the One — the Source of everything, who holds up the whole earth. This is the finest treasure there is.
The peace that comes from serving the One — you couldn't buy it with all the kingdoms and power in the world.
Kabir says his real wealth is the One, and the peace of serving the One is worth more than any throne.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line. It is the heart of the shabad, the idea everything circles. Kabir piles up names for the One: Maadhav, Gobind, and Dharneedhar, which means the One who holds up the earth. He is not listing many gods. He is pointing at the one reality behind every name.
He says it with bold confidence. The quiet peace of a heart turned toward the One is worth more than a kingdom. Think of the calm of sitting with your family on a slow evening. You would not swap it for a mountain of prizes.
This is the wealth "no thief can reach," now made personal. Hamraa dhan — it is my wealth, says Kabir.
Have you ever felt a kind of happiness that money couldn't have bought?
