ਤਾ ਕੈ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਬਸਿਓ ਨਾਮੁ ॥
taa kai hirdai basi-o naam.
The Naam, the Name of the Lord, abides within the hearts of those,
ਜਾ ਕਉ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਕੀਨੋ ਦਾਨੁ ॥੧॥
jaa ka-o su-aamee keeno daan. ||1||
whose Lord and Master blesses them with this gift. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Naam comes to live in the hearts of those
whom the Master blesses with this gift.
The Naam is a gift that comes to live in a heart open to it.
The Naam comes to live in a heart as a gift.
Taa kai hirdai basi-o naam: the Naam lives in their hearts. Daan means a gift. Grace is already here, like sunlight at a window, and an open heart lets it in.
