Verse 6 of 9

Every Treasure Streams From the One

ਰਿਧਿ ਸਿਧਿ ਨਵ ਨਿਧਿ ਜਾ ਕੈ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਾ ਪਰਵਾਹ ॥
riDh siDh nav niDh jaa kai amritaa parvaah.
Wealth, miraculous spiritual powers and the nine treasures come from the Lord, as do the streams of Ambrosial Nectar.
ਆਦਿ ਅੰਤੇ ਮਧਿ ਪੂਰਨ ਊਚ ਅਗਮ ਅਗਾਹ ॥੫॥
aad antay maDh pooran ooch agam agaah. ||5||
In the beginning, in the middle, and in the end, He is perfect, lofty, unapproachable and unfathomable. ||5||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Every good thing — riches, gifts, the sweet streams of Nectar — flows out from the One.

At the start, in the middle, and at the end, the One is whole and complete, higher and deeper than we can measure.

Every treasure streams from the One, who is complete from beginning to end.
The deeper layer

Ridh sidh nav nidh — wealth, powers, the nine treasures — and amritaa parvaah, streams of nectar, all flow from the One. And the One is aad antay madh pooran, perfect at the beginning, middle, and end, ooch agam agaah, lofty and unfathomable. Every gift traces back to a single, complete Source.

A Question to Sit With

When you receive something good, where do you imagine it ultimately comes from?
