ਜਿਨ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਧੁਰਿ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਲੇਖੁ ਤਿਨ੍ਹ੍ਹੀ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਮਾਇਆ ॥
jinH Dhur likhi-aa laykh tinHee naam kamaa-i-aa.
Those who have such pre-ordained destiny practice the Naam.
ਦਰਿ ਸਚੈ ਸਚਿਆਰ ਮਹਲਿ ਬੁਲਾਇਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
dar sachai sachiaar mahal bulaa-i-aa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The True Lord summons the truthful to the Mansion of His Presence. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those with such destiny written for them practice the Name.
The True One calls the truthful home to the Mansion of His Presence.
What gets you welcomed home is not your rank but your realness.
The Pause holds the now-familiar pairing: practice flows from destiny (grace), and the truthful are "summoned to the Mansion of His Presence." Being sach (real) is what the True Court recognizes (cf. Shabad 46). The truthful are not screened by rank but called home by their realness.
A Question to Sit With
What does it mean to you to be truly real, all the way through?
