Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When you truly taste the goodness too deep for words, the restless hunger inside is satisfied.
Listening and keeping it close, a person slowly becomes like the good itself.
The verse closes with two gifts: "one who tastes the Unspoken Speech — all his hunger is satisfied," and "chanting the Name, he has become like the Lord." Two of the tradition's deepest promises: the restless inner hunger is satisfied by the good, and we slowly become like what we love and keep close. The colophon (||2||2||8||) closes. For a child: truly tasting the good satisfies the restless hunger inside — and, keeping it close, you slowly become like it.
What good thing would you most like to slowly become like?
