ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸੇਵਾ ਮਹਲੀ ਥਾਉ ਪਾਏ ॥
gurmukh sayvaa mahlee thaa-o paa-ay.
The Gurmukhs serve Him; they obtain a place in the Mansion of His Presence.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਸਾਏ ॥
gurmukh antar har naam vasaa-ay.
The Gurmukhs enshrine the Naam within the mind.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਸਮਾਏ ॥੩॥
gurmukh bhagat har naam samaa-ay. ||3||
The Gurmukhs worship the Lord, and are absorbed in the Naam. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those turned toward the teaching serve, and find a place in the One's own home. They treasure the Name within, worship the One, and melt into the Name.
Those who serve find a place in the One's own home, absorbed in the Name.
The Gurmukh's reward is a place in the Mansion of His Presence (cf. the mansion within the home of the self). Service, enshrining the Name, worship, and absorption form a single movement -- the structure of Amar Das's Gurmukh path.
