Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one who keeps love in their heart and serves with a full heart has their restless hunger quieted.
And here's the beautiful part: a person like that ends up feeding many others, too.
The verse describes the GurSikh (the wise student) whose hunger and self-conceit are eliminated through wholehearted service. But its best line looks outward: many others are satisfied through them. A person who has quieted their own grasping doesn't just become peaceful — they become a source of nourishment for others, like a well that, once full, gives water to everyone. And the closing image: they plant the seed of goodness that never runs out. When you fill your own heart, the overflow feeds the people around you. Your inner peace becomes other people's food.
How might becoming more peaceful inside actually help the people around you?
