ਨਾਮੇ ਰਾਤਾ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਉ ॥੫॥

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Go where you may obtain the Name; by Guru's Grace, do good deeds.

Imbued with the Name, sing the One's praises.

Go where the Name is found — the places and people you choose shape who you become.
The deeper layer

Practical direction: "go there, where you may obtain the Naam" — seek out the company and place where the Name is found — and "perform good deeds" by grace. Where you go and whom you keep company with shapes what you become.

A Question to Sit With

Where could you go, and whom could you be with, to find what you're seeking?
