Tranquility, peace, poise and bliss in abundance prevail, and all my hunger is satisfied.
ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਕੇ ਅਚਰਜੁ ਜਿਸੁ ਵਡਿਆਈ ਰਾਮ ॥੨॥
naanak gun gaavahi su-aamee kay achraj jis vadi-aa-ee raam. ||2||
Nanak sings the Glorious Praises of his Lord and Master, whose Glorious Greatness is wonderful and amazing. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In plain words
The Maker gave the nine treasures and every power, so that nothing is missing.
Using them, sharing them, enjoying them, I found peace — for the One's gift keeps growing rather than running out.
Countless obstacles simply got up and left, and pain won't come near; peace and steadiness and deep gladness fill me, and every hunger is stilled. So I sing the One, whose greatness is a wonder.
The One's gift grows in the sharing and using — it never runs short.
The deeper layer
The Creator's gifts grow bigger the more you use and share them.
Nav niDh siDh riDh deenay kartay — the Creator gave the nav niDh, the nine treasures, and every kind of power and plenty. Tot na aavai kaa-ee — nothing is ever short.
Khaat kharchat bilchhat sukh paa-i-aa — eating, spending, and enjoying, I found peace. And still daat savaa-ee — the gift keeps growing.
Think of a candle lighting other candles. The first flame doesn't get smaller. The room just gets brighter. This is not a pile you hide away. It grows as you share it.
Binsee bhookh sabaa-ee — every hunger, that restless feeling of "not enough," is gone.
A Question to Sit With
What is something that actually grows when you share it instead of hoarding it?
