ਰਤਨ ਪਦਾਰਥ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਪਾਵੈ ਸਾਗਰ ਭਗਤਿ ਭੰਡਾਰ ਖੁਲ੍ਹ੍ਹਈਆ ॥
ratan padaarath gurmat paavai saagar bhagat bhandaar khulH-ee-aa.
The treasure of jewels is found in the ocean of the Guru's Teachings. The treasure of devotional worship is opened to me.
ਗੁਰ ਚਰਣੀ ਇਕ ਸਰਧਾ ਉਪਜੀ ਮੈ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਕਹਤੇ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਿ ਨ ਭਈਆ ॥੪॥
gur charnee ik sarDhaa upjee mai har gun kahtay taripat na bha-ee-aa. ||4||
Focused on the Guru's Feet, faith wells up within me; chanting the Glorious Praises of the Lord, I hunger for more. ||4||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The teaching is like an ocean, and inside it lies a treasure of jewels waiting to be found.
The more I sing about the One, the more I want to sing -- it is a good kind of hunger, the kind that never leaves you empty.
*The more you love it, the more you want of it.*
ratan padaarath gurmat paavai -- the jewels are found in the ocean of the teaching. taripat na bha-ee-aa -- 'I am not satisfied,' but joyfully so: praise deepens appetite rather than dulling it. A picture of devotion that feeds itself.
A Question to Sit With
