Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I was like an empty pool, dry and cracked. Following the Guru's teaching, I filled — and then kept filling, until I overflowed with the sight of the Real.
My mind is soaked through with the Naam, given by the One who has been kind from the very beginning of time.
An empty pool is filled until it overflows. The One has been kind like this since the very beginning.
Abhrat sinch bha-ay subhar sar pictures an empty tank watered until it brims over. Think of a dry pool in spring, slowly filling from a hose until water spills over the sides. Following the Guru's teaching, the heart fills like that with the sight of the Real.
Man rat naam ratay means the mind is soaked in love for the Name. Aad jugaad da-i-aalaa means kind from the beginning and through all the ages. Grace is not new, and it is not now-and-then. It is the oldest steady thing there is.
What has slowly filled a place in you that once felt empty?
