Verse 20 of 31

Filled to Overflowing

ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਰਹੀ ਭਰਪੂਰੇ ਪਾਈਐ ਸਬਦਿ ਵੀਚਾਰੀ ॥੧੯॥
kaa-i-aa amrit rahee bharpooray paa-ee-ai sabad veechaaree. ||19||
The body is then filled to overflowing with Ambrosial Nectar, obtained by contemplating the Shabad. ||19||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Then the whole self brims over with something sweet and life-giving, like a cup filled past the very top.

And it is found in one place: by turning the teaching over quietly in your heart.

The teaching, held quietly, fills you until you overflow.
The deeper layer

Kaa-i-aa amrit rahee bharpooray — the body is filled to overflowing with amrit, the nectar of deathless life. And the source is not a ritual or a place but sabad veechaaree — contemplating the Word. The sweetness wells up from within, where the teaching is held.

A Question to Sit With

What fills you up so completely that it spills over to others?
