ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਦੇਵੈ ਜਨੁ ਸੋਇ ॥ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਭਗਤਿ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੀ ਹੋਇ ॥
har har naam dayvai jan so-ay. an-din bhagat gur sabdee ho-ay.
Those, unto whom the Lord bestows His Name, worship Him night and day, through the Word of the Guru's Shabad.
ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਵਿਰਲਾ ਬੂਝੈ ਕੋਇ ॥
gurmat virlaa boojhai ko-ay.
How rare are those who understand the Guru's Teachings!
ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮਿ ਸਮਾਵੈ ਸੋਇ ॥੪॥੧੨॥੩੨॥
naanak naam samaavai so-ay. ||4||12||32||
O Nanak, they are absorbed in the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||4||12||32||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those the One gives the Name to worship it day and night through the Word. Rare are those who really understand the teaching. And they melt into the Name.
The Name is given -- and those who receive it worship day and night.
The Name is bestowed (grace); the response is constant worship through the Shabad. The refrain of rarity and final absorption in the Name close the shabad in Amar Das's standard cadence.
A Question to Sit With
What is something you would do "day and night" simply because you love it?
