Between an Endless Giver and Faithful Keeper, Nothing's Lost
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One who holds up all is the Giver to every being; loving it is a treasure that never stops overflowing.
Service to it is never wasted — in an instant it sets a person free.
The shabad opens on abundance: devotion to the all-sustaining One is "an overflowing treasure" — a source that keeps giving, never running dry. And it repeats the block's reassurance that nothing offered to the One is lost: "service to Him is not wasted." The pairing is quietly powerful — the treasure overflows toward us, and our small offerings toward it are never spilled. Between an inexhaustible giver and a faithful keeper of what we give, there is no loss anywhere.
What have you given or done for good that felt unseen? What if none of it was actually lost?
