Sorat'h, Fifth Mehl:
ਸੰਚਨਿ ਕਰਉ ਨਾਮ ਧਨੁ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਥਾਤੀ ਅਗਮ ਅਪਾਰ ॥
sanchan kara-o naam Dhan nirmal thaatee agam apaar.
I gather in and collect the immaculate wealth of the Naam; this commodity is inaccessible and incomparable.
ਬਿਲਛਿ ਬਿਨੋਦ ਆਨੰਦ ਸੁਖ ਮਾਣਹੁ ਖਾਇ ਜੀਵਹੁ ਸਿਖ ਪਰਵਾਰ ॥੧॥
bilachh binod aanand sukh maanhu khaa-ay jeevhu sikh parvaar. ||1||
Revel in it, delight in it, be happy and enjoy peace, and live long, O Sikhs and brethren. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I gather up the pure wealth of the Name — a treasure beyond reach and beyond compare.
Enjoy it, delight in it, be happy and at peace, and live long, my family and friends.
The best wealth to gather is the kind you can share and never lose.
Sanchan means to collect and store up, like saving. But this wealth is nirmal, spotless, and agam apaar, unreachable by grasping — you store it by remembering, not by hoarding. The warm address to the sikh parvaar, the family of learners, makes this a blessing spoken over loved ones at a shared table.
A Question to Sit With
What good thing in your life grows bigger when you share it?
