ਪੂਰੈ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਸੋਝੀ ਪਾਈ ॥
poorai satgur sojhee paa-ee.
The Perfect True Guru has imparted this understanding.
ਏਕੋ ਨਾਮੁ ਮੰਨਿ ਵਸਾਈ ॥
ayko naam man vasaa-ee.
I have enshrined the Naam, the One Name, within my mind.
ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪੀ ਤੈ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਈ ਮਹਲੁ ਪਾਇ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਹਾ ਹੇ ॥੧੧॥
naam japee tai naam Dhi-aa-ee mahal paa-ay gun gaahaa hay. ||11||
I chant the Naam, and meditate on the Naam. Singing His Glorious Praises, I enter the Mansion of the Lord's Presence. ||11||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The perfect Guru gave me this understanding.
I have placed the one Name inside my heart.
Keeping the Name, singing its praise, I step into the very Presence I was longing for.
Keeping the Name is a doorway into the Presence you long for.
Mahal paa-ay gun gaahaa — one enters the mahal, the palace of the divine Presence, by singing praise. The Presence is not far away; the Name held in the heart is the doorway in.
