Pauree:
ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਅਮੋਲੁ ਹੈ ਕਿਉ ਕੀਮਤਿ ਕੀਜੈ ॥
har kaa naam amol hai ki-o keemat keejai.
The Name of the Lord is priceless. How can its value be estimated?
ਆਪੇ ਸ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਸਭ ਸਾਜੀਅਨੁ ਆਪੇ ਵਰਤੀਜੈ ॥
aapay sarisat sabh saajee-an aapay varteejai.
He Himself created the entire universe, and He Himself is pervading it.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਦਾ ਸਲਾਹੀਐ ਸਚੁ ਕੀਮਤਿ ਕੀਜੈ ॥
gurmukh sadaa salaahee-ai sach keemat keejai.
The Gurmukhs praise the Lord forever, and through the Truth, they assess Him.
ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੀ ਕਮਲੁ ਬਿਗਾਸਿਆ ਇਵ ਹਰਿ ਰਸੁ ਪੀਜੈ ॥
gur sabdee kamal bigaasi-aa iv har ras peejai.
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the heart-lotus blossoms forth, and in this way, one drinks in the sublime essence of the Lord.
ਆਵਣ ਜਾਣਾ ਠਾਕਿਆ ਸੁਖਿ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਵੀਜੈ ॥੭॥
aavan jaanaa thaaki-aa sukh sahj saveejai. ||7||
Coming and going in reincarnation ceases, and one sleeps in peace and poise. ||7||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Name is beyond any price; there is no way to add up its worth.
The One made the whole universe and fills every corner of it.
Those who face the Guru praise the One always, the heart opens like a lotus, and the endless circling finally quiets into peace.
What made everything cannot be priced by anything within it.
The seventh Pauree (||7||). The Name's value cannot be estimated because it belongs to the One who made and pervades everything. The heart-lotus blossoming (bigaasi-aa) and the ceasing of 'coming and going' point to a settled, peaceful rest (sahaj).
A Question to Sit With
What is something so valuable to you that no price could name it?
