Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Gather the Name as your real treasure and storehouse.
Let it be the food that sustains you; may you always keep it near — for in kindness, the teaching has shown me this.
Let the Name be daily food for your heart, not just an occasional thought.
The Name as dhan (wealth), as bhandaar (storehouse), and then, strikingly, as aahaar — food, daily sustenance. This echoes the vision of Truth as the very material of daily life. Kar kirpaa gur dee-aa bataa-ay — in mercy, the teaching revealed this; the insight itself is a gift.
A Question to Sit With
What feeds your heart the way food feeds your body?
