Verse 4 of 5

Wise With Every Strength

ਸਰਬ ਕਲਾ ਸੋਈ ਪਰਬੀਨ ॥
sarab kalaa so-ee parbeen.
Those are wise and blessed with all powers,
ਨਾਮ ਮੰਤ੍ਰੁ ਜਾ ਕਉ ਗੁਰਿ ਦੀਨ ॥੩॥
naam mantar jaa ka-o gur deen. ||3||
whom the Guru blesses with the Mantra of the Naam. ||3||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Wise and skilled in every power are those

whom the Guru gives the mantra, the holy words, of the Naam.

The deepest wisdom comes from carrying the Naam.
The deeper layer

Wisdom and every strength come from carrying the Naam the Guru gives.

Sarab kalaa so-ee parbeen: skilled and wise in every power. Naam mantar: the Naam as a mantra, holy words the Guru gives. This wisdom comes as a gift and grows, like a seed a gardener plants.

A Question to Sit With

What kind of wisdom do you most want to grow in yourself?
