Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
From the Guru I received a treasure — the Naam.
Now I am satisfied and full, and I am not hungry for more.
The Name is a treasure that fills us up, so we stop being hungry for more.
Naam khajaanaa gur tay paa-i-aa means "I received the treasure of the Name from the Guru." It is a gift. It cannot be bought.
Taripat rahay aaghaa-ee means "I stay satisfied and full." The restless wanting ends. Think of a big, warm meal after a long day outside. You push back from the table, happy, and you want nothing more.
This is from an Ashtapadee of the third Guru, Guru Amar Das. An Ashtapadee is a longer song, often of eight verses.
What is something that leaves you fully satisfied, not wanting more?
