Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My Master is out of reach, beyond our senses, and without end. No one can find the One's limits.
Remembering our own Lord, we earn the profit and become rich.
The One is bigger than anything we can measure, yet remembering the One makes us rich inside.
Agam agochar bi-ant su-aamee: my Master is out of reach, beyond our senses, and without end. No box can hold the One. Taa kaa ant na paa-ee-ai: no one can find the edge.
Then Guru Arjan uses the words of a shopkeeper. Laahaa khaat: we earn a profit. Dhanvantaa: we become rich. He often speaks this way about wealth inside. Money in your pocket can be spent or lost. This wealth stays with you, like knowing how to read. It never washes off.
What are some things that feel valuable but do not last — and what feels valuable that does?
