Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
However much I spend this wealth and live on it, it never runs out; it stays with me here and beyond.
Loading up the treasure, the teaching handed it over — and this mind is dyed through with the One's love.
This wealth never shrinks when you spend it. kaavahu kharchahu tot na aavai — however much I eat and spend it, it never runs out.
Money gets smaller as you spend it. This wealth grows more familiar the more you use it. Think of a candle lighting other candles. Its own flame is no smaller.
halat palat kai sangay — it stays with me here and in the life beyond. It is the wealth that travels, as another shabad in this raag says.
The last picture is love. ih man har rang rangay — this mind is dyed with the One's love, colored all the way through. The Guru gave this treasure. It turns out to be a color that never washes out: love.
What good thing in your life seems to grow rather than shrink the more you use and share it?
