ਤਿਸਹਿ ਪਰਾਪਤਿ ਹੋਇ ਨਿਧਾਨਾ ॥
tiseh paraapat ho-ay niDhaanaa.
He alone obtains this wealth,
ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮ ਰਸੁ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਮਾਨਾ ॥
raam naam ras antar maanaa.
who savors and enjoys, deep within his mind, the Name of the Lord.
ਕਰੁ ਗਹਿ ਲੀਨੇ ਅੰਧ ਕੂਪ ਤੇ ਵਿਰਲੇ ਕੇਈ ਸਾਲਕਾ ॥੫॥
kar geh leenay anDh koop tay virlay kay-ee saalkaa. ||5||
Grasping hold of his arm, God lifts him up and pulls him out of the deep, dark pit. Such a devotee of the Lord is very rare. ||5||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Only the one who savors the Naam deep inside finds this treasure.
The One reaches down, takes hold of an arm, and lifts a person right out of a deep, dark well.
Someone who lives that closely to the One is a rare and precious thing.
The One's hand reaches down into the darkest well.
The 'anDh koop' is a deep, dark well, and the One takes hold of an arm and lifts. The 'wealth' is the Naam savored within.
A Question to Sit With
When have you felt lifted out of something you could not climb out of alone?
