ਨਾਮੁ ਅਮੋਲਕੁ ਅਗਮ ਅਪਾਰਾ ॥
naam amolak agam apaaraa.
The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is priceless, inaccessible and infinite.
ਨਾ ਕੋ ਹੋਆ ਤੋਲਣਹਾਰਾ ॥
naa ko ho-aa tolanhaaraa.
No one can weigh it.
ਆਪੇ ਤੋਲੇ ਤੋਲਿ ਤੋਲਾਏ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੀ ਮੇਲਿ ਤੋਲਾਇਆ ॥੯॥
aapay tolay tol tolaa-ay gur sabdee mayl tolaa-i-aa. ||9||
You Yourself weigh, and estimate all; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, You unite, when the weight is perfect. ||9||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Name is priceless, beyond reach, without end. No one can put it on a scale.
You alone weigh all things — and through the Guru's Word, when the balance is just right, You gather us in.
The most priceless things cannot be put on any scale.
The Naam is amolak (priceless) and cannot be weighed by anyone but the One. Union comes through the Shabad when the weight is perfect (tol) — a lovely image of grace arriving at exactly the right measure.
A Question to Sit With
What is something precious in your life that could never be measured or weighed?
