ਨਾਮਦੇਇ ਸਿਮਰਨੁ ਕਰਿ ਜਾਨਾਂ ॥
naamday-ay simran kar jaanaaN.
Meditating in remembrance, Naam Dayv has come to know the Lord.
ਜਗਜੀਵਨ ਸਿਉ ਜੀਉ ਸਮਾਨਾਂ ॥੨॥੧॥
jagjeevan si-o jee-o samaanaaN. ||2||1||
His soul is blended with the Lord, the Life of the World. ||2||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Namdev says, by remembering the One, quietly and steadily, I have come to know the One.
My soul has blended into the Life of the World, like a stream slipping into the sea.
Keeping the One in mind, quietly, is how you come to know the One.
naamday-ay simran kar jaanaaN — through simran (loving remembrance) Namdev knew, not merely believed. jagjeevan si-o jee-o samaanaaN — the soul merges with jagjeevan, the Life of the World. Remembrance ends in union.
