ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕਰਿ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਮਿਲਾਏ ॥
kirpaa kar satguroo milaa-ay.
Granting His Grace, He leads us to meet the True Guru.
ਏਕੋ ਨਾਮੁ ਚੇਤੇ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਭਰਮੁ ਚੁਕਾਏ ॥
ayko naam chaytay vichahu bharam chukaa-ay.
Remembering the One Name, doubt is cast out from within.
ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪੇ ਨਾਉ ਨਉ ਨਿਧਿ ਪਾਏ ॥੪॥੧੧॥੩੧॥
naanak naam japay naa-o na-o niDh paa-ay. ||4||11||31||
O Nanak, chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the nine treasures of the Name are obtained. ||4||11||31||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
By grace, the One leads you to the true teacher. Remembering the one Name, doubt is thrown out from inside you. And keeping the Name, you receive the nine treasures.
Grace leads to the teacher, remembrance casts out doubt, and the Name is all the treasure you need.
The resolution to the doubt of the previous verses: grace leads to the Guru, remembrance casts out doubt, and the Name yields the nine treasures. The cycle of doubt is broken not by solving the agency puzzle but by grace and remembrance.
A Question to Sit With
