Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One's people live what is true, and they practice truth, reflecting on the words of the teaching.
The true One draws them close on its own and keeps them held, truth safe in the heart.
Nanak says: through the Name I found freedom and understanding — and honestly, that is my whole wealth.
The close is quietly radiant. Har jan saachay saach kamaaveh — "the One's people are true, and they practice truth" — this is sach not as belief but as lived reality: living truly, not just thinking true things. Aapay mayl la-ay — "the One unites them of its own accord" — grace as initiative, not reward. And the last line is Guru Amar Das's contentment note, pure Sorath: ayhaa raas hamaaree — "this alone is my wealth" — the Name is riches enough. A whole life summed up as one treasure freely given.
What is something you value so much that it feels like real riches to you?
