Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My own true wealth is the wisdom and love the Teacher placed in me, and now my mind rests steady and calm.
It is like cool water for a burning heart, like an anchor for a mind that races everywhere. With it, the tangle of doubt and fear simply falls away.
The Guru's gift of wisdom and love is like cool water on a hot, tired heart.
Nij dhan means my own wealth. It is the inner treasure of gi-aan, understanding, and bhagat, loving devotion, given through the Guru.
Notice the balance Kabir describes. Sumat is a mind held steady, not grabbing and not running away.
The pictures are gentle and healing. There is water for a heart that feels like it is burning. Think of a cold drink after a long, hot soccer game. There is also an anchor for a mind that will not stop running, like an anchor that keeps a small boat still in the wind.
So this wealth is not about power. It is relief, steadiness, and the quiet end of fear.
What helps your mind feel steady when it's racing?
