Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who have really tasted the sweetness of the Oneness find their endless thirst is finally satisfied. That grabbing, never-enough feeling settles down at last. They have found what truly fills them.
This one says real sweetness finally quiets the thirst that never ends.
Har ras jin jan chaakhi-aa — those who have tasted the har ras. Ras means juice, flavor, the very taste of something. Here it is the sweetness of the One. Taa kee tarisnaa laathee-aa — their tarisnaa, thirst or craving, is lifted.
The picture is chosen on purpose. Craving is a thirst. Most things we chase are like salt water. You drink it, and you get even thirstier. Think of getting a new game and wanting the next one a day later. The har ras is the water that really quenches. So the frantic reaching quietly stops.
What things leave you wanting even more after you get them — and what actually leaves you satisfied?
