The Wealth of Naam is permanent and imperishable

The only wealth that is permanent, is the Wealth of Naam. All else is perishable.

This wealth cannot be burnt by fire or washed away by water. It cannot be stolen by a thief.

The Naam is permanent, all else is fleeting. This wealth no thief can steal or take away.

The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the only permanent wealth; all other wealth comes and goes. Thieves cannot steal this wealth, nor can robbers take it away.

Guru Amar Das –
Adi Granth, Var of Gujari, p. 511

The wealth of Naam dwells in the heart, and he who gets It gains release. This wealth fire cannot burn, thieves cannot steal, water cannot drown, nor can It be confiscated.

That commodity, the wealth of the Naam, is within my heart. Whoever You bless with it, is emancipated.

This wealth does not burn; it cannot be stolen by a thief. This wealth does not drown, and its owner is never punished.

Guru Nanak Dev –
Adi Granth, Maru M1, p. 991
