O motherly friend! I have obtained the wealth of the Naam of the Divine, now my mind has stopped its wanderings (for Maya) and has come to rest. -Guru Tegh Bahadur, Guru Granth Sahib, 1186

Message: As mortals, we devote our lives to the accumulation of wealth and material needs.� We don�t even rest or pause for a moment to reflect on the Divine and the teachings of our Gurus.� All the stress and tension imposed on us is endured in this rat-race. Only when we have accepted the Divine as our Master, do we have peace of mind.� Having done so, we will then have obtained all the spiritual wealth we need and will be free from all desires and wants. This wealth can only be obtained by a devotee from the Divine.

Etymology: From Sanskrit vishraam (rest, pause).
