mehlaa 4.
Fourth Mehl:
ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਸਜਣੁ ਲੋੜਿ ਲਹੁ ਭਾਗਿ ਵਸੈ ਵਡਭਾਗਿ ॥
har parabh sajan lorh lahu bhaag vasai vadbhaag.
Seek the Lord God, your Best Friend; by great good fortune, He comes to dwell with the very fortunate ones.
ਗੁਰਿ ਪੂਰੈ ਦੇਖਾਲਿਆ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗਿ ॥੨॥
gur poorai daykhaali-aa naanak har liv laag. ||2||
Through the Perfect Guru, He is revealed, O Nanak, and one is lovingly attuned to the Lord. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Seek the One, your best friend. By great good fortune, the One comes to live with you.
Nanak says: the perfect Guru has shown me the One, and my heart is lovingly tuned to the One.
Look for the One the way you look for your best friend.
Go looking for the One the way you would look for your best friend.
Sajan means friend, and lorh lahu means go and seek. Vadbhaag is great good fortune. Gur poorai daykhaali-aa: the perfect Guru shows you. Liv laag is attention lovingly fixed, like a radio tuned clearly to one station.
A Question to Sit With
Who is a friend worth going out of your way to look for?
