Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Nothing a person runs after in this world can compare to this one sweetness.
And it comes to rest only with the one whom the Teacher blesses with it.
Nothing we chase can compare to the sweetness the Teacher gives.
lavai na laagan ka-o hai kachhoo-ai — nothing even comes close. Whatever the mind Dhaavai, runs after, falls short. Think of all the toys and games you once wanted so badly. Most of them ended up at the back of a cupboard.
This sweetness is amrit, the nectar that never dies. And it is given, not grabbed. jaa ka-o gur deeno ih amrit — the one to whom the Teacher gives this nectar is the one who comes to have it.
Is there something good that came to you as a gift rather than something you chased?
