Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Imagine someone with empty hands who finally finds the Great Giver, and is handed a treasure so vast it can never be finished.
There is more than anyone could ever use up, and they would never want to set it down. Once you have found this, you never need to go searching anywhere else again.
jaachak jan daataa paa-i-aa (the empty-handed one finds the Giver). The riddle continues: the gift is na jaa-ee khaa-i-aa (cannot be used up) yet chhodi-aa jaa-ay na (cannot be left), an image of the inexhaustible fullness of the Name. a-uran peh jaanaa chookaa (no more begging elsewhere), the search is over. Self-abasement is rendered as empty-handedness toward grace (voice rules).
What would it feel like to have something so good you could never run out of it?
