Sat Siri Akaal. That shabad, along with MANY others, is available on the sikhnet website from the home page, look for shabads for printing, and go from there. Here is the info on Dhan Dhan Ram Das Gur shabd. http://www.sikhnet.com/GurbaniKirtan/tr_1423.html
Recite it at least 11 times, or sing for half an hour in music form. When you need a miracle, this can help it.

Young man, there is no paath for being smart. Wanting to do better than everyone else is your ego talking. Ego is one of the five enemies of the Gursikh. You need NEUTRAL mind, not brains. Be grateful for the smarts Waheguru gave you, and instead of trying to beat everyone, consider becoming a tutor to those less fortunate than you in the academics/brains department. Start your daily practice of the Naam NOW, so that instead of mere smarts you can have a neutral and insightful mind that will allow you to penetrate to the heart of an issue without a lot of interference. If you study SGGS you will see that Guru speaks of the one who knows sukhsahaij, for whom pain and pleasure are equal, that one is perfectly at peace and that one knows Guru.
