Verse 3 of 5

The Name Is a Home of Peace You Carry

ਨਾਮੁ ਭਗਤ ਕੈ ਸੁਖ ਅਸਥਾਨੁ ॥
naam bhagat kai sukh asthaan.
The Naam is the home of peace of His devotees.
ਨਾਮ ਰਤੁ ਸੋ ਭਗਤੁ ਪਰਵਾਨੁ ॥੨॥
naam rat so bhagat parvaan. ||2||
Attuned to the Naam, His devotees are approved. ||2||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The Name is a home of peace for those who love it -- a place inside where they can always rest. Tuned to it, their whole life is welcomed and complete.

The Name is a home of peace you can carry inside you.
The deeper layer

Naam bhagat kai sukh asthaan -- the Name is the devotees' home of peace. Naam rat so bhagat parvaan -- attuned to the Name, the lover is accepted. Asthaan (home, resting-place) makes the Name an inner shelter; rat is being attuned, in tune. Being 'accepted' (parvaan) means the life has met its purpose.

A Question to Sit With

Where do you go, inside or outside, when you need to feel truly at rest?
