One Name, and No Other Needed

ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਚੇਤਾ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਪੂਜਾ ॥

I remember the Lord's Name, and no other at all.
ਏਕੋ ਸੇਵੀ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਦੂਜਾ ॥

I serve the One Lord, and no other at all.
ਪੂਰੈ ਗੁਰਿ ਸਭੁ ਸਚੁ ਦਿਖਾਇਆ ਸਚੈ ਨਾਮਿ ਨਿਵਾਸੀ ਹੇ ॥੭॥
poorai gur sabh sach dikhaa-i-aa sachai naam nivaasee hay. ||7||
The Perfect Guru has revealed the whole Truth to me; I dwell in the True Name. ||7||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

I keep one Name in mind, and need no other.

I serve the One alone, and no other.

The perfect Guru has shown me the whole Truth, and I live inside the True Name.

When you find what is true, one is enough.
The deeper layer

A one-pointed heart: when you have found what is true, one is enough. The perfect Guru reveals the whole truth, and the heart lives inside it.

A Question to Sit With

What is something so good you do not need anything else alongside it?
