The Overflowing Storehouse

ਤੇਰੀ ਦਾਤਿ ਤੁਝੈ ਤੇ ਹੋਵੈ ॥
tayree daat tujhai tay hovai.
You alone give Your gifts.
ਦੇਹਿ ਦਾਨੁ ਸਭਸੈ ਜੰਤ ਲੋਐ ॥
deh daan sabhsai jant loai.
You grant Your gifts unto all the beings of the world.
ਤੋਟਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ਪੂਰ ਭੰਡਾਰੈ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਿ ਰਹੇ ਆਘੀਜਾ ਹੇ ॥੮॥
tot na aavai poor bhandaarai taripat rahay aagheejaa hay. ||8||
Your treasures are overflowing, and are never exhausted; through them, we remain satisfied and fulfilled. ||8||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Every gift there is comes from You.

You give to every being in the world, and Your storehouses never once run low. Fed from them, we stay full and content.

The One's storehouse never runs low, and we stay full and content.
The deeper layer

tayree daat tujhai tay hovai — every gift comes from the One. tot na aavai poor bhandaarai — the storehouse never runs short. This is the answer to scarcity and worry: an abundance that cannot be exhausted, leaving us tripat, satisfied.

A Question to Sit With

What helps you feel full instead of always worried about running out?
