Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
They listen to the Word without stopping, and seeing the One, they melt into it. Serving the teacher, they receive true greatness. Tuned to the Name, they dissolve into the Name.
Listen, look, and melt into the Name: that is where the whole song ends.
The last verse gathers up the song's action words: listen, see, merge. Sun sun vaykhai sabad milaa-ay — listening and listening, and seeing, they merge into the Word.
Vadee vadi-aa-ee gur sayvaa tay paa-ay — great glory comes through serving the Guru. As always, it is given. This is Gurprasad, the Guru's grace, a gift and not a prize.
Naanak naam ratay har naam samaa-ay — says Nanak, those dyed in the Name are absorbed into the Name. Every song of Guru Amar Das, the third Guru, heads here. Think of a sugar cube dropped into warm milk. It becomes part of the milk. You become what you are tuned to.
What is something you could "listen to continually" that would slowly change you?
