Book I / III – (i)

The Riches of Naam are lasting and inexhaustible

The treasure-house of Naam is perfectly secure and eternally the same:

While worldly riches come and go, the riches of Naam are eternal and everlasting, fire cannot destroy It nor can It be stolen. 

Guru Amar Das, Gujri War M3

Therefore it is said:

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal; for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 

St Matthew 6:19-21

I am possessed of the treasure of Naam, whosoever gets It, is emancipated, It can neither be stolen nor destroyed, It is tax-free and is not affected by the ravages of time. 

Guru Nanak, Maru M1
