ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇ ਸੋ ਪਾਏ ॥ ਸਾਚਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਵਸੈ ਮਨਿ ਆਏ ॥
jis no nadar karay so paa-ay. saachaa sabad vasai man aa-ay.
The True Word of the Shabad comes to dwell in the mind, when the Lord bestows His Glance of Grace.
ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮਿ ਰਤੇ ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰੀ ਦਰਿ ਸਾਚੈ ਸਾਚੁ ਪਛਾਤਾ ਹੇ ॥੧੬॥੮॥
naanak naam ratay nirankaaree dar saachai saach pachhaataa hay. ||16||8||
O Nanak, those who are attuned to the Naam, the Name of the Formless Lord, realize the True Lord in His True Court. ||16||8||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The true Word comes to live in the mind when grace turns its gentle glance toward you.
Nanak says, those who hold the Naam of the formless One
come to know the Truth, right in the court of Truth.
Grace is a glance that lets what is real settle in you.
Jis no nadar karay so paa-ay — the nadar, the glance of grace, is what lets the Word settle. Nirankaaree — the formless Oneness, without shape or image. The true is known dar saachai — in the very presence of the true, not somewhere else.
