ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਃ ੪ ॥
salok mehlaa 4.
Shalok, Fourth Mehl:
ਭਗਤਿ ਸਰੋਵਰੁ ਉਛਲੈ ਸੁਭਰ ਭਰੇ ਵਹੰਨਿ ॥
bhagat sarovar uchhlai subhar bharay vahann.
The sacred pool of devotional worship is filled to the brim and overflowing in torrents.
ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮੰਨਿਆ ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਵਡ ਭਾਗ ਲਹੰਨਿ ॥੧॥
jinaa satgur mani-aa jan naanak vad bhaag lahann. ||1||
Those who obey the True Guru, O servant Nanak, are very fortunate - they find it. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The pool of loving devotion brims full and spills over in rushing streams.
Nanak says: those who trust and follow the True Guru are so fortunate. They find it.
Devotion is a pool that brims over — the aligned heart drinks its fill.
Devotion is a pool so full that it spills over, and those who trust the Guru find it.
Bhagat sarovar: a pool of loving devotion, filled right to the top and overflowing, like a fountain after heavy rain. Mani-aa means to trust and take to heart, and to live by what you trust.
A Question to Sit With
What fills you up so much that it spills over into how you treat others?
