Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whoever truly belongs to the One is never left hungry inside.
And anyone who comes to sit humbly at their feet is lifted up along with them.
A short, warm Shalok. Tinnaa bhukh na kaa rahee jis daa prabh hai so-ay — "no hunger remains for the one whose prabh (the One) is theirs." This is the inner fullness the whole Vaar keeps pointing at: not that such a person owns more, but that the gnawing lack is gone — the mind is tripat, satisfied, so it stops grasping. And the fullness spreads: charnee lagi-aa udhrai sabho ko-ay — "everyone who comes to their feet is lifted." Sitting near a truly filled heart, you catch some of that fullness yourself. It is the saadhsang teaching in miniature: good company doesn't just help them; it overflows onto whoever draws near.
Do you know someone who seems full and content inside? How do you feel when you're around them?
