ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਆਪੁ ਪਛਾਣਿਆ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਸਿਆ ਮਨਿ ਆਇ ॥
gurmukh aap pachhaani-aa har naam vasi-aa man aa-ay.
The Gurmukh understands his own self. The Lord's Name comes to dwell within the mind.
ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਭਗਤੀ ਰਤਿਆ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੇ ਸੁਖਿ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੩॥
an-din bhagtee rati-aa har naamay sukh samaa-ay. ||3||
Imbued with devotion to the Lord's Name, night and day, he merges in peace. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one turned toward the teaching understands their own self, and the Name comes to live in the mind. Soaked in love for the Name, day and night, they melt into peace.
Know your own self, and the Name comes to live in you, settling you into peace.
The bright contrast: self-understanding (cf. the living-liberated) brings the Name to dwell within, and constant devotion yields effortless peace (Gurmukh). Self-knowledge and the indwelling Name are the same event.
A Question to Sit With
What have you learned about yourself that brought you peace rather than worry?
