Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Naam is the support of the Guru's people, who take shelter in the One.
The saints keep the support of the Highest One in their minds.
The Naam holds up everyone who takes shelter in the One. Here is the Rahao, the pause, the center of the shabad. Jan kaa naam adhaar hai — the Name is the support of the humble servant. Naam means the Name, the loving remembrance of the One. Adhaar means a base, something that holds you up.
Think of the anchor that keeps a boat steady when the waves come.
Parmaysar kaa aasraa santan man maahi — the saints keep the support of the Highest Lord in their minds. They carry it inside, wherever they go. The Name is a steadiness you keep within.
What keeps you steady when everything around you is moving fast?
