ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਸਦਾ ਜਨੁ ਸੋਹੈ ॥
gur kai sabad sadaa jan sohai.
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, His humble servant is exalted forever.
ਨਾਮ ਰਸਾਇਣਿ ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਮੋਹੈ ॥
naam rasaa-in ih man mohai.
This mind is enticed by the Naam, the source of nectar.
ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹ ਮੈਲੁ ਪਤੰਗੁ ਨ ਲਾਗੈ ਗੁਰਮਤੀ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਭੀਜੈ ਹੇ ॥੭॥
maa-i-aa moh mail patang na laagai gurmatee har naam bheejai hay. ||7||
It is not stained at all by the dirt of attachment to Maya; through the Guru's Teachings, it is pleased and saturated with the Lord's Name. ||7||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Through the Guru's Word, a humble heart is quietly lifted high.
The mind is drawn to the Name, the very source of sweetness.
And so it stays unstained by the dust of grabbing, soaked instead in the Name.
When the Name draws you, the dust of grabbing cannot stick.
The Name is the source of sweetness (amrit). A mind drawn to it stays unstained (nirmal) by the dust of attachment.
A Question to Sit With
What is something so good it makes lesser wants lose their pull?
