ਕਲਜੁਗ ਮਹਿ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਹੈ ਸਾਰੁ ॥
kaljug meh raam naam hai saar.
In Kali Yuga, the Lord's Name is the most sublime.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਾਚਾ ਲਗੈ ਪਿਆਰੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
gurmukh saachaa lagai pi-aar. ||1|| rahaa-o.
As Gurmukh, be lovingly attached to Truth. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In this dark age, the Naam of the One is the best and most precious thing of all.
Turn toward the Guru, and hold on with love to what is true.
Of all you could reach for, the Naam is the most precious.
In this age, the Naam is the most precious thing, and love for what is true is the way to hold it.
This is the rahao, the pause line, the centre of the shabad. Kaljug meh raam naam hai saar: in this age the Naam is saar, the essence, the very best. Gurmukh saachaa lagai pi-aar: facing the Guru, love saachaa, the True One, what lasts.
A Question to Sit With
If you could keep only one precious thing, what would it be?
