The Treasure That Never Empties

ਮੇਰੇ ਰਾਮ ਕੋ ਭੰਡਾਰੁ ॥
mayray raam ko bhandaar.
This is the treasure of my Lord.
ਖਾਤ ਖਰਚਿ ਕਛੁ ਤੋਟਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ਅੰਤੁ ਨਹੀ ਹਰਿ ਪਾਰਾਵਾਰੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
khaat kharach kachh tot na aavai ant nahee har paaraavaar. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Consuming and expending it, it is never used up. The Lord has no end or limitation. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

This is the treasure of my One.

Spend from it, live on it — it is never used up.

The One has no end and no edge at all.

Some treasures grow the more you draw on them.
The deeper layer

Khaat kharach kachh tot na aavai — eat and spend, yet nothing runs short. Unlike money, this treasure grows by being drawn on. Ant nahee paaraavaar — the One has no far shore.

A Question to Sit With

What do you have that gets bigger the more you give it away?
