Grace Settles the Name in the Heart

ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਮਿਲਾਏ ॥
nadar karay satguroo milaa-ay.
Granting His Grace, the Lord unites the mortals with the True Guru.
ਨਾਨਕ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਸਾਏ ॥੪॥੬॥
naanak hirdai naam vasaa-ay. ||4||6||
O Nanak, the Naam is enshrined within the heart. ||4||6||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Looking with grace, the One brings us to meet the True Guru.

Nanak says: then the Naam comes to live in the heart.

Grace brings you to the teaching, and the Name makes a home in your heart.
The deeper layer

Grace brings you to the True Guru, and the Naam comes to live in your heart.

Nadar karay satguroo milaa-ay: with nadar, a glance of grace, the One brings you to meet the True Guru. Naanak hirdai naam vasaa-ay: O Nanak, the Naam then lives in the heart. Grace, the Guru and the Naam in the heart come as one movement.

A Question to Sit With

Who or what has helped the good things settle deep inside you?
