Salok Vaaraan Te Vadheek (Mehl 3), Salok 68 — the giver of the Naam
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Without the True Guru there is no giver who can give the support of the Naam of the One.
By the Guru's grace, the Naam comes to live in the mind; keep it always held in your heart.
The fire of wanting goes out and one is satisfied, through love for the Naam of the One.
Nanak says: the Gurmukh — the one who turns to the Guru — finds the One, when the One pours down mercy.
The Naam is a gift that comes through the Guru, and love for it puts out the fire of wanting.
Bin satgur daataa ko nahee: there is no giver but the True Guru who gives the aaDhaar, the support, of the Naam. It comes gur kirpaa, by the Guru's grace, and is kept held in the heart. Tisnaa bujhai tipat ho-ay: wanting goes out and a person is satisfied, through love for the Naam. Contentment grows from love, as craving fades.
What is the difference between wanting something and being grateful for what you have?
