ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮਿ ਰਤੇ ਵੀਚਾਰੀ ਨਾਮੇ ਨਾਮਿ ਸਮਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੬॥੧॥੧੫॥
naanak naam ratay veechaaree naamay naam samaa-idaa. ||16||1||15||
O Nanak, those who contemplate the Naam are imbued with it. They merge in the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||16||1||15||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The heart that faces the One lives by truth and only truth, and nothing heavy clings to it.
Nanak says, those who hold the Naam close are coloured by it through and through, and melt at last into the Naam itself.
Hold the Name close and it colours you all the way through.
The closing signature: truth as practice, clarity as result, and contemplating the Name leading to merging in it as the Solha ends.
