Sikhism·Raag Maaroo·Shabad 79
Verse 8 of 9

Every Gift Comes When Grace Gives It

ਮਿਲਿਓ ਤਿਸੁ ਸਰਬ ਨਿਧਾਨਾ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਲਿ ਜਿਸੁ ਦੀਵਨਾ ॥੭॥
mili-o tis sarab niDhaanaa parabh kirpaal jis deevnaa. ||7||
One is blessed with all treasures, when God, in His Mercy, gives them. ||7||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

All treasures come when the kind One gives them.

The best things are received as gifts, not grabbed.
The deeper layer

Every treasure comes when the One, out of kindness, chooses to give it.

Sarab nidhaanaa means all treasures. Parabh kirpaal means the kind One. The gifts in this shabad come as presents, not as pay for hard work. Grace is received, not earned.

Think of a birthday present. You did not earn it; someone just loves you. That is how these treasures arrive.

A Question to Sit With

What good thing in your life came to you as a gift?
