ਮਃ ੩ ॥
mehlaa 3.
Third Mehl:
ਇਕਿ ਸਦਾ ਇਕਤੈ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਹਹਿ ਤਿਨ ਕੈ ਹਉ ਸਦ ਬਲਿਹਾਰੈ ਜਾਉ ॥
ik sadaa iktai rang raheh tin kai ha-o sad balihaarai jaa-o.
Some remain constantly imbued with the Lord's Love; I am forever a sacrifice to them.
ਤਨੁ ਮਨੁ ਧਨੁ ਅਰਪੀ ਤਿਨ ਕਉ ਨਿਵਿ ਨਿਵਿ ਲਾਗਉ ਪਾਇ ॥
tan man Dhan arpee tin ka-o niv niv laaga-o paa-ay.
I dedicate my mind, soul and wealth to them; bowing low, I fall at their feet.
ਤਿਨ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਮਨੁ ਸੰਤੋਖੀਐ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਭੁਖ ਸਭ ਜਾਇ ॥
tin mili-aa man santokhee-ai tarisnaa bhukh sabh jaa-ay.
Meeting them, the soul is satisfied, and one's hunger and thirst all depart.
ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮਿ ਰਤੇ ਸੁਖੀਏ ਸਦਾ ਸਚੇ ਸਿਉ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਇ ॥੨॥
naanak naam ratay sukhee-ay sadaa sachay si-o liv laa-ay. ||2||
O Nanak, those who are attuned to the Naam are happy forever; they lovingly focus their minds on the True Lord. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I'm so grateful for the people whose hearts stay full of love.
Being near them satisfies something deep, and the restless hunger inside settles.
Hearts tuned to the good are happy for good.
Being near people whose hearts are full of love settles the restless hunger inside you.
A warm Shalok of gratitude: "some remain constantly imbued with the Lord's Love; I am forever a sacrifice to them... meeting them, the soul is satisfied, and hunger and thirst all depart." Being near genuinely loving people satisfies the restless hunger inside. For a child: being near people whose hearts are full of love settles the restless hunger inside you.
A Question to Sit With
Who fills you up with a settled, satisfied feeling just by being near them?
