Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The endless treasure of the Name lives right inside the hearts of those who love it — not far away, but carried within.
And in the company of the wise, the heavy things — the fear, the clinging, the ache — quietly loosen and fall away.
This one means the treasure of the Name lives inside those who love it.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line at the center of the shabad.
naam niDhaan apaar bhagtaa man vasai — the endless treasure of the Name lives in the minds of the bhagtaa, those who love the One. NiDhaan means treasure.
janam maran moh dukh saaDhoo sang nasai — in the company of the good, the sorrow of birth and death runs off. So do moh, clinging, and dukh, pain. Nasai means to run away.
Think of carrying a heavy box with friends. Alone it is too much. Together it feels light. The treasure is inside us, and good company lightens the load.
What good thing do you carry inside you that no one can see from the outside?
