Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Your Name is the lamp, the wick inside it, and the oil that keeps it burning. Everything the light needs, Your Name already is.
And when that light is lit, it doesn't glow in just one room — it fills the whole world. One small flame of Your Name, and everywhere is bright.
One small flame of the Name is enough to light up everything.
Naam tayraa deevaa naam tayro baatee — Your Name is the lamp, and Your Name is the wick. It is the oil too. Bha-i-o uji-aaro bhavan saglaaray — once it is lit, its light fills all the worlds.
Think of one match struck in a dark room. It is tiny, yet the whole room shows. The single inner flame of remembrance lights everything. The outer lamp was always pointing to this one.
Have you seen one person's warmth light up a whole room?
