ਆਪੁ ਪਛਾਣੈ ਸੋ ਸਭਿ ਗੁਣ ਜਾਣੈ ॥
aap pachhaanai so sabh gun jaanai.
One who realizes himself, knows all virtues.
ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਖਾਣੈ ॥
gur kai sabad har naam vakhaanai.
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, he chants the Name of the Lord.
ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਨਾਮਿ ਰਤਾ ਦਿਨੁ ਰਾਤੀ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਚੁਕਾਹਾ ਹੇ ॥੮॥
an-din naam rataa din raatee maa-i-aa moh chukaahaa hay. ||8||
Night and day, he remains imbued with the Naam, day and night; he is rid of emotional attachment to Maya. ||8||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one who knows their own heart comes to know every good thing.
Keeping the Name close all through the day and night, the tight grip of clinging quietly loosens.
Knowing yourself is where all the good things begin.
Self-knowledge is the root of virtue. Steady remembrance, simran, loosens attachment naturally, without struggle.
