Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is like a wonderful fruit tree, and its Name is the sweetest, most refreshing nectar.
Everyone who tastes it feels completely satisfied — full, content, wanting nothing more.
I feel so grateful for people like that, whose hearts are truly filled.
A lovely image: saahib saflio rukhrhaa — "the Lord is the fruitful tree, whose Name is ambrosial nectar." A fruit tree gives freely, shading and feeding whoever comes; the One is pictured that way — endlessly nourishing. And those who "drink" its nectar "are satisfied" (tript — the deep contentment that ends restless wanting). Guru Nanak then does what the Gurus so often do — turns in gratitude toward those people: "I am a sacrifice to them," the ones whose hearts are truly full. There's no envy in it, only glad admiration for a contented heart. For a child: the best kind of goodness is like a fruit tree — it fills you up so completely that you stop feeling like you're missing something.
What fills you up so well that afterward you feel content and not restless?
