Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kindness has come to me, and something sweet like nectar is soaking all the way through my heart.
Every treasure worth having, every good thing, comes to rest with the one who belongs to the One.
When the One is kind, sweetness soaks right into the heart.
Bha-ay kirpaal da-i-aal gobindaa amrit ridai sinchaa-ee — the One has become kind and gentle, and nectar waters the heart. Amrit means nectar, a sweet drink that gives life. Ridai means heart. Think of rain soaking slowly into a dry garden.
Then the verse lists great riches. Nav niDh riDh siDh — the nine treasures, wealth, and special powers. They all come to rest with the one who belongs to the One. Yet they are small next to the real gift. The real gift is simply being held by the One.
What feels like the sweetest, richest thing in your life right now — and did you have to earn it?
