ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਵਹੁ ਸਦ ਸਦਾ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਮਨੁ ਰੰਗੇ ॥
naam Dhi-aavahu sad sadaa har har man rangay.
Meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, forever and ever, my mind is filled with the Love of the Lord, Har, Har.
ਜੀਉ ਪ੍ਰਾਣ ਧਨੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਹੈ ਨਾਨਕ ਕੈ ਸੰਗੇ ॥੪॥੨॥੧੦੪॥
jee-o paraan Dhan guroo hai naanak kai sangay. ||4||2||104||
The Guru is my soul, my breath of life, and wealth; O Nanak, He is with me forever. ||4||2||104||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Meditating on the Name forever, my mind is filled with the Love of the One.
The Guru is my soul, my breath of life, and my wealth; says Nanak, He is with me forever.
The Guru becomes your very soul and breath — with you forever.
The close: continual meditation fills the mind "with the Love of the Lord," and the Guru becomes everything — "my soul, my breath of life, and wealth" — and, crucially, "with me forever." The Guru is not a teacher consulted and left, but the permanent, indwelling life of the soul.
A Question to Sit With
Who or what has become so woven into you that it feels like your very breath?
