ਰਜਿ ਰਜਿ ਭੋਜਨੁ ਖਾਵਹੁ ਮੇਰੇ ਭਾਈ ॥
raj raj bhojan kaavahu mayray bhaa-ee.
Eat to your fill, O my Siblings of Destiny.
ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਿਦ ਮਾਹਿ ਧਿਆਈ ॥੧॥
amrit naam rid maahi Dhi-aa-ee. ||1||
Meditate on the Ambrosial Naam, the Name of the Lord, within your heart. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Eat your fill, my brothers and sisters; there is more than enough.
And hold the sweet Naam deep in your heart, where it feeds the part of you that food cannot reach.
Feed your body, yes — and feed the part of you that food cannot reach.
Raj raj bhojan — eat fully, to satisfaction; amrit naam rid maahi Dhi-aa-ee — hold the nectar-Name in the heart. Two kinds of hunger, two kinds of feeding — one for the body, one for the soul. Bhaa-ee means brother, and here it calls every brother and sister to the table.
A Question to Sit With
What feeds you in a way that is not about food?
