ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਨ ਕਉ ਧਾਰੈ ॥
har kaa naam jan ka-o Dhaarai.
The Name of the Lord is the support of His humble servants.
ਸਾਸਿ ਸਾਸਿ ਜਨੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਮਾਰੈ ॥੩॥
saas saas jan naam samaarai. ||3||
With each and every breath, they remember the Naam. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Name holds up those who love it, steadying them through everything. With each breath in and out, they keep it close -- so quietly it becomes as natural as breathing.
Kept close breath by breath, remembrance becomes as natural as breathing.
Har kaa naam jan ka-o Dhaarai -- the Name supports the humble. Saas saas jan naam samaarai -- with each breath they cherish the Name. Saas saas (breath by breath) is Gurbani's image for continuous, effortless remembrance -- not a strained chant but something woven into the rhythm of being alive.
A Question to Sit With
Is there something good you do so often it has become automatic, like breathing?
