ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮਿ ਜਿਨ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਪਿਆਰੁ ॥
raam naam jin pareet pi-aar.
Those who love the Beloved Name of the Lord
ਆਪਿ ਉਧਰੇ ਸਭਿ ਕੁਲ ਉਧਾਰਣਹਾਰੁ ॥੨॥
aap uDhray sabh kul uDhaaranhaar. ||2||
save themselves, and save all their ancestors. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who love the beloved Naam of the One
are carried across themselves, and they carry their whole family across with them, all the way back to their ancestors.
Loving the Naam blesses not just you but everyone connected to you.
Loving the Naam lifts you, and the blessing reaches your whole family.
Raam naam jin preet pi-aar: those who hold the Naam with preet and pi-aar, two words for love. Aap udhray sabh kul udhaaranhaar: they are carried across, and they carry their kul, their family line, with them. Love ripples outward across generations.
A Question to Sit With
How might one person’s goodness ripple out to a whole family?
