ਸਚੁ ਖੇਤੀ ਸਚੁ ਬੀਜਣਾ ਸਾਚਾ ਵਾਪਾਰਾ ॥
sach khaytee sach beejnaa saachaa vaapaaraa.
Let Truth be the farm, Truth the seed, and Truth the merchandise you trade.
ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਲਾਹਾ ਸਚੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਨੁ ਭਗਤਿ ਭਰੇ ਭੰਡਾਰਾ ॥੩॥
an-din laahaa sach naam Dhan bhagat bharay bhandaaraa. ||3||
Night and day, you shall earn the profit of the Lord's Name; you shall have the treasure overflowing with the wealth of devotional worship. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Make truth your field, truth your seed, and truth the thing you trade in.
Then day by day you gather real riches — a treasure of goodness that keeps overflowing.
Your life is like a garden — plant truth and kindness, and that's exactly what grows.
A lovely farming-and-trading image: "let Truth be the farm, Truth the seed, Truth the merchandise." A whole life imagined as a farm where you plant truth and harvest truth — and the profit is "the treasure overflowing with devotion." Truth planted grows into more truth; goodness is a crop you cultivate. For a child: your life is like a garden — plant truth and kindness, and that's what grows.
A Question to Sit With
If your life were a garden, what seeds would you most want to plant?
