ਸੰਤਹੁ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਨੁ ਸੰਚਹੁ ਲੈ ਖਰਚੁ ਚਲੇ ਪਤਿ ਪਾਵੈਗੋ ॥
santahu raam naam Dhan sanchahu lai kharach chalay pat paavaigo.
O Saints, gather the Wealth of the Lord's Name; if you depart after packing these provisions, you shall be honored.
ਖਾਇ ਖਰਚਿ ਦੇਵਹਿ ਬਹੁਤੇਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਦੇਦੇ ਤੋਟਿ ਨ ਆਵੈਗੋ ॥੭॥
khaa-ay kharach dayveh bahutayraa har dayday tot na aavaigo. ||7||
So eat, spend, consume and give abundantly; the Lord will give - there will be no deficiency. ||7||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O saints, gather the wealth of the Lord's Naam. Take it with you as food for the journey, and you will be honored.
Eat it, spend it, give it away in plenty. The One keeps giving, and it never runs short.
Share the wealth of the Naam freely; it never runs short.
The Naam is a wealth that never runs out, however much you share it.
Santahu: O saints, O holy people. Raam naam Dhan sanchahu: gather the wealth of the Lord's Naam. Kharach: provisions, the packed food for a long trip. Khaa-ay kharach dayveh bahutayraa: eat, spend and give in plenty. Tot na aavaigo: no shortage ever comes.
A Question to Sit With
What good thing gets bigger, not smaller, when you share it?
