Salok Sehskritee, Salok 30 — A Well That Never Runs Dry
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Singing the praises of the One is the true duty that comes with being born in a human body.
Nanak says: the Naam of the One is sweet nectar. The saints drink it in, and never have enough.
Singing the One's praises is what a human life is for, and the Naam is a nectar no one ever tires of.
Ramna kayvla keertana suDharma dayh Dhaarnah: singing the One's praises is the true dharam, the duty, of having a body. Amrit naam naaraa-in: the Naam is amrit, sweet nectar. Peevtan sant na tariptayatay: the saints drink it and never feel they have had enough. It is a joyful thirst, like a well that never runs dry.
What is something so good that the more you do it, the more you want to — in a healthy way?
