ਖਾਤ ਖਰਚਤ ਕਿਛੁ ਨਿਖੁਟਤ ਨਾਹੀ ਅਗਨਤ ਭਰੇ ਭੰਡਾਰੇ ॥
khaat kharchat kichh nikhutat naahee agnat bharay bhandaaray.
Eating and consuming it, it is never exhausted; God's treasures are overflowing.
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਸੋਭਾ ਸੰਗਿ ਜਾਵਹੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਕੈ ਦੁਆਰੇ ॥੨॥੫੭॥੮੦॥
kaho naanak sobhaa sang jaavhu paarbarahm kai du-aaray. ||2||57||80||
Says Nanak, you shall go home to the Court of the Supreme Lord God with honor and respect. ||2||57||80||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You can spend it and share it and use it every day, and it never runs low — the One's storehouses are stacked past counting.
Nanak says, you will walk home to the One's own door with honor, your good name shining beside you.
The best wealth never runs low, no matter how much you give.
This wealth never runs out, however much you share.
Khaat kharchat kichh nikhutat naahee — spent and shared, it never runs out — true wealth multiplies by giving. Agnat bharay bhandaaray — uncountable overflowing treasuries. Sobhaa sang jaavhu — going with honor to paarbarahm kai du-aaray, the door of the One — is arriving home well.
A Question to Sit With
What is something good that grows the more you give it away?
