Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who turn toward the Guru praise You, and they taste the sweetest, finest nectar.
This nectar stays sweet forever; it never goes flat. Think deeply on the Guru's Word.
Praising the One brings a sweetness that never wears off.
Amrit means nectar. Its word-meaning is "the drink that doesn't die." Here it is meethaa, sweet. Sadaa meethaa kaday na feekaa means "always sweet, never bland."
Think of a new video game. It's thrilling for a week. Then it gets boring and sits on the shelf. Most of the world's pleasures are like that. They delight us for a while, then they go flat.
This sweetness is different. How do you find it? Gur sabdee veechaar: by veechaar, which means thinking slowly and deeply about the Guru's Word. You turn it over in your mind, the way you'd hold a smooth stone, until its meaning sinks in.
What is something you loved that lost its shine — and something that never has?
