Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One feels dear to my mind, and the Name keeps growing inside me.
Through the perfect Guru I found the One, and I lean toward it with love.
The darkness of not-knowing is cut clean through, and a light shines out. Nanak says: the Name is my one support, and I melt into it.
One steady light is enough to cut clean through a lot of darkness.
Har naam vaDhaa-ee — the Name resounding and increasing within. Agiaan anDhayraa katiaa: the darkness of not-knowing cut through. Jot pargatiaa-ee: the light shines forth. Naam aDhaar: the Name as the one support — and samaa-ee, merging into it.
A Question to Sit With
