ਸਫਲ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਪਰਸਉ ਸੰਤਨ ਕੀ ਇਹੈ ਧਿਆਨਾ ਧਰਨਾ ॥
safal moorat parsa-o santan kee ihai Dhi-aanaa Dharnaa.
I behold the fruitful vision of the Saint; this is the meditation I have taken.
ਭਇਓ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਲੁ ਠਾਕੁਰੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਕਉ ਪਰਿਓ ਸਾਧ ਕੀ ਸਰਨਾ ॥੨॥੧੬॥
bha-i-o kirpaal thaakur naanak ka-o pari-o saaDh kee sarnaa. ||2||16||
The Lord Master has become Merciful to Nanak, and he has entered the Sanctuary of the Holy. ||2||16||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I behold the fruitful sight of the good; this is the meditation I've taken up.
The Master turned merciful to Nanak, and I've entered the shelter of the good.
Sometimes the practice is simply being in the presence of the good, with attention — that is its own meditation.
The close names a simple practice: "beholding the vision of the Saint" — good company itself is the meditation. You do not always need an elaborate technique; being in the presence of the good, with attention, is its own practice. Grace led him there, into the shelter of the holy.
