ਇਹੁ ਤਨੁ ਧਰਤੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਬੀਜਿ ਅਪਾਰਾ ॥
ih tan Dhartee sabad beej apaaraa.
This body is the earth, and the infinite Shabad is the seed.
ਹਰਿ ਸਾਚੇ ਸੇਤੀ ਵਣਜੁ ਵਾਪਾਰਾ ॥
har saachay saytee vanaj vaapaaraa.
Deal and trade with the True Name alone.
ਸਚੁ ਧਨੁ ਜੰਮਿਆ ਤੋਟਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਵਾਸੀ ਹੇ ॥੧੧॥
sach Dhan jammi-aa tot na aavai antar naam nivaasee hay. ||11||
The True wealth increases; it is never exhausted, when the Naam dwells deep within. ||11||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Think of your body as a field of soft earth, and the living Word as an endless seed.
Trade and deal only in the True Name.
That true wealth keeps growing and never runs out, once the Name takes root deep inside.
Plant the Word in yourself, and it grows a wealth that never runs out.
The body is a field, the Shabad a seed, the Name a wealth that never runs out. The best trade is trade in the True Name.
A Question to Sit With
If your heart were a garden, what would you want to plant in it?
