Tasted in Company, the Name Stills the Wanting

Your Name is Ambrosial Nectar, O Beloved Lord; in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I have obtained its sublime essence.
ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਿ ਅਘਾਇ ਸੇਈ ਜਨ ਪੂਰੇ ਸੁਖ ਨਿਧਾਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਗਾਇਆ ॥੨॥
taripat aghaa-ay say-ee jan pooray sukh niDhaan har gaa-i-aa. ||2||
Those humble beings are satisfied and fulfilled, singing the Praises of the Lord, the treasure of peace. ||2||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Your Name is the Ambrosial Nectar, Beloved; in the company of the holy I have tasted its essence.

Those humble souls are full and satisfied, singing the praises of the One, the treasure of peace.

Tasted in good company, the Name fills you and stills the wanting.
The deeper layer

The Name as Nectar, tasted in the Sangat — the Har Ras found in good company. And those who taste it are "satisfied and fulfilled," their restless wanting stilled by "the treasure of peace" (cf. Shabad 102, the thirst quenched).

A Question to Sit With

What have you 'tasted' in good company that you couldn't have found alone?
