A wealth no fire or thief can touch, already kept inside your own heart.
The Arc
You probably have a list of things you want. A better phone. More followers. Some money saved. You chase them in every direction. Meanwhile the best treasure is already inside you. It is the Naam, and it fills everything around you too. A fire cannot burn it. A thief cannot take it from your bag. A flood cannot wash it away. When you look at it closely, your days and nights settle into an easy calm. Every great-hearted person you admire has carried it. You find it when you meet the Guru and take the teaching to heart. At the centre, the Rahao: the wealth of the Naam is inside the heart, and whoever receives it is set free.
Key Vocabulary
Dhan / Vakhar — wealth and commodity, here the Name
Sahjay maatay — gladly immersed in effortless equilibrium
Param gat — the supreme state, reached by no one lacking this wealth
Akath kathaa — the unspeakable speech, too deep for words
Themes and Cross-Connections
The classic Gurbani contrast between sach (real and lasting) and jhooth (passing) becomes deep security: the one wealth time and chance cannot take. It is inclusive, the shared secret of every awakened heart.
For Raag Maaroo
In the mortality-raag, the imperishable inner wealth is offered as the security that outlasts every loss.
Translation Notes
Manmukh is the one who follows only their own restless will; Gurbani describes such a person without contempt.
