Verse 12 of 12
Savaiye in Praise of Guru Arjun, the Fifth (Bhatt Kall), Verse 12 — at the Guru's door, wholly full
ਜਗਤ ਉਧਾਰਣੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਤੁਠੈ ਪਾਇਅਉ ॥
jagat uDhaaran naam satgur tuthai paa-i-a-o.
The Naam is the Saving Grace of the world; by the Pleasure of the True Guru, it is obtained.
ਅਬ ਨਾਹਿ ਅਵਰ ਸਰਿ ਕਾਮੁ ਬਾਰੰਤਰਿ ਪੂਰੀ ਪੜੀ ॥੩॥੧੨॥
ab naahi avar sar kaam baarantar pooree parhee. ||3||12||
Now, I am not concerned with anything else; at Your Door, I am fulfilled. ||3||12||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Naam carries the whole world across, and it is received when the True Guru is pleased.
Now I need nothing else. At your door, I am completely fulfilled.
At the Guru's door, the wanting stops.
The Naam is a gift, received when the True Guru is pleased, and at the Guru's door the wanting ends.
Satgur tuthai paa-i-a-o means "received when the True Guru is pleased." The Naam comes as grace, given freely. The last line, baarantar pooree parhee, means "at your door, I am fulfilled." The restless wanting ends by arriving.
With this, the bard Kal's set of twelve verses in praise of Guru Arjun comes to a close.
A Question to Sit With
