Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You may visit every holy place, keep fasts, hold sacred feasts, give to charity, and put your body through the hardest trials in the snow.
Yet the Naam of the One weighs more than anything can weigh. By the Guru's teaching, nothing comes close to its weight.
The Naam weighs more than every outward practice put together.
Tirath, barat, punn: pilgrimages, fasts and charity, the whole list of religious effort found in every tradition. Atulaa tol raam naam: the weight of the Naam cannot be measured; ko pujai na tol, nothing equals it. Good deeds stay good. The Naam, alive inside, is what matters most.
What is something small and inward that matters more than any big display?
