Sikhism·Raag Soohee·Shabad 90
Verse 32 of 33

Finally, Completely Full

ਨਾਨਕ ਕਾ ਜੀਉ ਪਿੰਡੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਹੈ ਗੁਰ ਮਿਲਿ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਿ ਅਘਾਈ ॥੩੧॥
naanak kaa jee-o pind guroo hai gur mil taripat aghaa-ee. ||31||
The Guru is Nanak's body and soul; meeting the Guru, he is satisfied and satiated. ||31||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The teaching has become my very soul and body — it's that woven into who I am.

Meeting it, I feel completely full, the way you feel after the best meal — satisfied all the way through, wanting for nothing.

The right nourishment leaves you satisfied all the way through.
The deeper layer

naanak kaa jee-o pind guroo hai, gur mil tripat aghaa-ee — the teaching has become one's very soul and body (jee-o pind); meeting it brings full satisfaction (tripat aghaa-ee). Longing resolved into complete contentment.

A Question to Sit With

What's a kind of "full" that no amount of food could give you?
