Only Those You Draw In Arrive

ਸੇ ਜਨ ਮਿਲੇ ਧੁਰਿ ਆਪਿ ਮਿਲਾਏ ॥
say jan milay Dhur aap milaa-ay.
They alone meet Him, whom the Lord unites with Himself.
ਸਾਚੀ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦਿ ਸੁਹਾਏ ॥
saachee banee sabad suhaa-ay.
They are adorned and exalted with the True Word of His Bani, and the Shabad.
ਨਾਨਕ ਜਨੁ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵੈ ਨਿਤ ਸਾਚੇ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਹ ਗੁਣੀ ਸਮਾਹਾ ਹੇ ॥੧੬॥੪॥੧੩॥
naanak jan gun gaavai nit saachay gun gaavah gunee samaahaa hay. ||16||4||13||
Servant Nanak continually sings the Glorious Praises of the True Lord; singing His Glories, he is immersed in the Glorious Lord of Virtue. ||16||4||13||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The ones who arrive are the ones the One quietly draws in.

Their lives are made beautiful by the true Word. Nanak says: sing the praises of the True One every day, and lose yourself happily in singing the praises of the One full of every goodness.

The ones who arrive are the ones gently drawn in, and they are made beautiful by it.
The deeper layer

Union is the One's own doing, and the devotee is adorned by the Bani and merges in praise as the Solha ends.

A Question to Sit With

What is a song or practice you could happily lose yourself in?
