Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Every treasure there is lives inside the Name of the One. The one it is written for, by grace, receives it.
Nanak says, I met the Perfect Guru, and now my days pass in calm, easy peace and quiet joy. It feels as if I have finally arrived where I was always meant to be.
Every good thing you could want is already held inside the Name.
Sarab nidhaan means all treasures. Guru Arjan says they are all in naam, the Name of the One. The Name is not one good thing among many. It is the box that holds all of them.
Who receives it? The verse says the one who has it in their karam. Here that word means grace, a gift given freely. It is spoken of gently, like fruit that ripens in its own time. Nobody can buy it.
Then Guru Arjan tells what happened when he met the Perfect Guru. His life began to pass in sukh, peace, sahaj, natural ease, and anad, joy.
Think of a plant that finally gets enough light. It does not strain to grow. It just grows, calm and steady.
What would it feel like to move through a whole day in calm, steady ease?
